Updated my SH review, and made it a little better, I hope. I didn't take away any of the negative, but I think the problem before was that I didn't clarify when I became positive.
Take a look.
Should I re-submit, or just leave it edited like this?
Edit:
Okay, someone take a look at myspace.com/the_loop and tell me if the way I set up my reviews looks alright. Thanks to Espiga for helping me with the tags and stuff.

How do you make a table?
espiga Jul 12, 2007
First, you start with the table tag, which looks like so (As always, replace brackets):
[table border="1"]
We're giving it a little bit of a border so that you will be able to keep your reader's eyes lined up with everything.
Afterwards you'll want to create a row, so you'll have to use the table row tag, which is [tr], leaving us with this:
[table border="1"]
[tr]
Now we need to make each individual column. The tag for that is [td]:
[table border="1"]
[tr]
[td]Column 1[/td]
[td]Column 2[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]
That would give you a table with one row and two columns, that looks like so:
Column 1
Column 2
Now, because you're using a setup where you have the title above the name of the game, you'll probably want to make two rows per game: The top one for the title and the bottom one for the screenshot. To make another row, we just add another [tr] right after the one we just closed:
[table border="1"]
[tr]
[td]Column 1[/td]
[td]Column 2[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Row 2 Col 1[/td]
[td]Row 2 Col 2[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]
Which gives us:
Column 1
Column 2
Row 2 Col 1
Row 2 Col 2
Now, we need to apply that to your review list:
[table border="1"]
[tr]
[td]The Darkness (X360)[/td]
[td]Bullet Witch (X360)[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td][a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmhvbmVzdGdhbWVyc..." target="_blank"][img src="http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/3072/heartofdarkness1m..."][/a][/td]
[td][a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmhvbmVzdGdhbWVyc..." target="_blank"][img src="http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/1529/bulletwitchil0.png"][/a][/td]
[/tr]
[/table]
Which should give you something roughly like this:
The Darkness (X360)
Bullet Witch (X360)
You may need to use [center] tags and stuff to format as needed, and for additional rows or columns I think I explained it well enough that you can figure it out on your own. If not, well, I'll try to explain it again in another lengthy post! =D Good luck, and if you have any more questions don't be afraid to ask.
Edit: It also looks like those msplinks things just redirect to Myspace. I just copied the links you were using on your myspace page, so you may want to make sure your links aren't broken as well.

About the MSlinks - yeah, it looks like it from here, but when I'm on my page and click one of the pictures, it redirects here.
carcinogen_crush Blogger Jul 12, 2007
Like, I entered them how you said, and it just pretty much left the format like it was - it was still just displayed in the list. You want me to post the tags I used, and see if I went wrong somewhere?

Damn, my avatar is broken or something.
Okay, here are the tags, kay?
[table border="1"]
[tr] Xbox 360 [/tr]
[tr]
[td]The Darkness[/td]
[td]Bullet Witch[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td][a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmhvbmVzdGdhbWVyc..."]
[img src="http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/3072/heartofdarkness1m..." border="0"/][/a][/td]
[td][a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmhvbmVzdGdhbWVyc..."]
[img src="http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/1529/bulletwitchil0.png" border="0"/][/a][/td]
[/tr]

Look at the slash after border="0".
That's one error. Looks like you have them in both images, too.
The second error lies here:
[tr] Xbox 360 [/tr]
You're trying to make an entire row have text in it without a column. Try
[tr][th colspan="2"] Xbox 360[/th][/tr]
and see if that helps.
Another piece of advice is to make sure you're closing the table when you're done with [/table].
Xbox 360
The Darkness
Bullet Witch
This is my result from taking out those slashes after border="0" and using the tags I explained above. Colspan will allow you to have a title bar that spans multiple columns, hence the name Column Span. Hopefully this helps. And yeah, I had to edit the crap out of this post to get it to work the way I wanted to.
