But beware, if the table get's too sophisticated and you miss a tag here or there it can mess up the whole thing.

Thank you. I got it!
I got so inspired with the success that I even figured out how to add colors!

I'm making a table with data in the cells and only now read the original post. It's easier in WP to center 2 or more pictures without using a table:
Insert pictures into the post with "align none" for each one. Once they are visible in the editor, select both pictures (highlight), then use the column alignment tool in the visual editor to center them. You may want to add space between the pictures by going back to "Advanced Settings" to add horizontal space between them.

<table>
in the beginning, you put
<table align="center">

I'm new here and previously to center to images side by side I would use a table like this,

<center><table>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table></center>

However, this doesn't seem to work on WordPress.com. Is there a way around it?

Thanks
