Convenient Way to Edit Tables in Blogger?

Sometimes I need edit tables in my posts, and found that the HTML coding for tables, especially when I want various features, is tedious. I searched online to see if there are some good ways to do this. Unfortunately, I haven't found any.

As for now, WYSIWYG style is preferred for me to edit tables. So I edit the tables in other editor like Dreamweaver, and then just copy the HTML code back to my blog. I wish there is some better way I can handle tables!

Are there some convenient ways for TABLEs in blog?


================================================================

After I posted above content, I did find that if I can use CSS style well, the table can be edited in a controllable way. Also, the code wasn't be prohibitive, and I can play with it in various ways. Glad that it won't be an obstacle for me to continue with my blog! Hopefully I can learn more along with blogging!

This is a sample table I just edited. Yes, if I really know something, it will be simple.

Header1Header2Header3
Row1, Col1Row1, Col2Row1, Col3
Row2, Col1Row2, Col2Row2, Col3
Row3, Col1Row3, Col2Row3, Col3
Row4, Col1Row4, Col2Row4, Col3
Row5, Col1Row5, Col2Row5, Col3

I think I need some summary, so just post here.
  1. Style can be made for entire table, each row, each column, or each cell.
  2. Style options for columns are limited, and maybe overruled by row styles.
  3. Some options for styles:
    background-color, color, text-align, font-face, font-size, font-weight, text-decorator
