Some things do not read well as sentences. Scores, dates, prices, results.

Today you put facts on your site in a table, so a reader can run their eye down a column and find what they want.

By the end of the lesson your site will have a table with a heading row and three rows of your own facts.

A table needs three kinds of block, one inside the next:

• the table block is the whole thing
• a row block goes inside the table, one for each line across
• a cell block goes inside a row, one for each box in that line

Two rows of two cells makes four boxes. You have met a holder before: this is the same idea as the list, one level deeper.

All three are in the List group.

A table starts as a holder with nothing in it.

This is the block you need:

1. Click List on the left.
2. Drag a table block to the bottom of your page.
3. Drag a row block inside the table, where it opens out.
4. Click Your web page.

Check: nothing shows yet. An empty row has no boxes in it, so there is nothing to draw.

If it did not work: the row is sitting beside the table instead of inside it. Drag it again until it clicks into the opening.

Cells are the boxes a reader actually sees.

1. Drag a cell block inside your row.
2. Type Match in it.
3. Drag a second cell block under the first one.
4. Type Score in it.
5. Click Your web page.

Check: two boxes appear side by side. Cells stack downwards in the blocks but run across on the page.

If it did not work: only one box shows, so the second cell is inside the table rather than inside the row.

The top row of a table names the columns.

This is the block you need:

1. Click Blocks.
2. Click your row block.
3. Change its box to heading row.
4. Click Your web page.

Check: the top row is now bold, and it reads as labels rather than facts.
