 * I have a table that was really long, so I split it so that the two tables are
   next to eachother. I like how the theme formats the tables and adds a hover effect,
   but how do I make it so that the two have independent hover effects?
 * The table is still on my hard drive so I can’t link.

 * You would need to find a way to target the tables separately in the CSS code —
   likely using a class or id specific to each table. So you might have something
   like this:
 *     ```
       <table id="table1">
       ....
   
       <table id="table2">
       .....
       ```
   
 * then the CSS code:
 *     ```
       table#table1 {
          styles for table1;
       }
       ```
   
 * ditto for table 2 — depending on how your theme/site is coded, you may already
   have selectors you could use, or you may need to add them.
