Googling for a clue

I'm an HTML neophyte. Meaning, I don't know squat about how to format my blog -- but I bet you already guessed that, eh?

I want to put up a text chart. You know, rows and columns -- like a spreadsheet? But I have no idea how to do it, so I'm googling for a clue. This blog was helpful. So was this site.

Anyone else know where I can find an easy (and free!) tutorial on HTML coding for creating tables, etc.?

Thanks!
