   even and right. the site is [http://www.cliftondesigns.com](http://www.cliftondesigns.com)

 * I dont like tables but…
 * The table is 655w. The two image columns will be 120w each because of the graphics
   all being 120w. So 655 – 120 – 120 = 415. Two more columns left to use the 415
   of space. 415 / 2 = 207.5. So give each column of text 200 or 205px width.
 *     ```
       <table width="655">
       <tbody>
       <tr>
       <td width="120">
       <img >
       </td>
       <td width="200">
       text
       </td>
       <td width="120">
       <img >
       </td>
       <td width="200">
       text
       </td>
       </tr>
       .....
       ```
   
 * Only need to apply it to the first row, rest follows. I would convert what I’ve
   shown into css by given class to the TDs and referencing them in style.css
 * Align all the text images to the top. This is good for css to apply to all tables
   like this.
    `table td {vertical-align:top;}`
 * CSSified
 *     ```
       table td {vertical-align:top;}
       table#services{width:655px;}
       table#services td.graphic{width:120px;}
       table#services td.text{width:200px;}
       ```
   
 *     ```
       <table id="services">
       <tbody>
       <tr>
       <td class="graphic">
       <img >
       </td>
       <td class="text">
       text
       </td>
       <td class="graphic">
       <img >
       </td>
       <td class="text">
       text
       </td>
       </tr>
       .....
       ```
