Grace (redone)

At Bino's suggestion, I decided to try to create a table to more clearly illustrate a previous post. I created this table using a free website creation program, NVU (www.nvu.com).
ReplyDeleteApparently, Blogger is not very table-friendly! When I first posted this, there was a huge amount of white space on top of the table. You had to scroll down to see the table. Long story short, I did some research and found out that I needed to edit the html, to make it one continuous line of html with no occurrences of page breaks (hitting the enter key).
Anyway, I hope this table is more clear in showing how I meant for each "IS" to correspond with each "ISN'T."
Awesome!
