* Hello,
* I am creating tables in the Pinboard theme
* Any ideas I can align them next to each other (with some padding) as opposed
to one below the other? Is this something to do with Pinboard theme CSS or can
I adjust table settings?
* Thanks in advance

* Do you have a plugin that provides Custom CSS functionality?

* Hi Andrew – the Pinboard theme has a Custom CSS section, don’t have a seperate
plugin
* Thanks

* In the Custom CSS section, add this;
* ```
#container tbody {
float: left;
}
```

* Andrew,
* Thanks – that’s done the trick – now they’re aligned left, any idea how I can
get horizontal padding between each table?

* Yeah, you can add some [margin](http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_margin.asp),
E.g;
* ```
#container tbody {
float: left;
margin-right: 20px;
}
```

* Also a margin is created on the right on each table, presumably on 20px.
* Any ideas? Am sure it’s a simple solution and very close to what I’m after.

* They are now separated out into two tables, before they were in one table.
You
need to change this;
* ```
#container tbody {
float: left;
margin-right: 20px;
}
```
* To this;
* ```
#container table {
float: left;
margin-right: 20px;
}
```
* CSS is dependent on HTML.

* Andrew, thanks, now works.
* Will have 12 seperate tables in all, so changing as so will do the trick.
* Just got to work out why there’s a massive gap under March 2012 before M/T/W/
T/F/S/S then I’m sorted!

* The gap’s caused by the default styling applied to paragraphs; the calendar titles(
March 2013, etc.) are in paragraphs.
* To override this default styling, try adding this CSS;
* ```
#container table p {
margin: 0;
}
```
