Having Columns Like in a Newspaper
| This is column 1 and this is column 1 and this is still column 1 | This is column 2 and this is column 2 and this is still column 2 | This is column 3 and this is column 3 and this is still column 3 |
The source code for the colums was this:
<TABLE BORDER="0">
<TR>
<TD WIDTH="30%" VALIGN="TOP">
This is column 1 and this is column 1 and this is still column 1<BR>
</TD>
<TD WIDTH="5%"></TD>
<TD WIDTH="30%" VALIGN="TOP">
This is column 2 and this is column 2 and this is still column 2<BR>
</TD>
<TD WIDTH="5%"></TD>
<TD WIDTH="30%" VALIGN="TOP">
This is column 3 and this is column 3 and this is still column 3<BR>
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
When inserting the code, make sure you put it into very few lines.
Change all the little percentages to adjust the coloums, and also make sure you change the text.
This html tip will help your page be professional.

Some look down upon using tables to format text (including the W3C [http://www.w3.org]).

The alternative comes from the idea of separating style from the structurin of content. I.e. although the html markup (tags) should structure the text, it shouldn't dictate how it looks.
Here is an example of doing this with floating divs:
First we define the style for the class "column" and then write out three divs of that class.
<html>
<style>
.column{ width: 30%; float: left; }
</style>
<body>
<!-- === First column === -->
<div class="column">Tip - popups considered harmful:
Until user agents allow users to turn off spawned windows, do not cause pop-ups or other windows to appear and do not change the current window without informing the user.

<!-- === Second column === -->
<div class="column">In voting systems, Arrow's impossibility theorem, or Arrow's paradox demonstrates the impossibility of designing rules for social decision making that obey a number of 'reasonable' criteria.
Arrow's impossibility theorem
</div>
<!-- === Third column === -->
<div class="column">String theory is either a theory of everything - which automatically unites gravity with the other three forces in nature - or a theory of nothing, but finding the correct form of the theory is like searching for a needle in a stupendous haystack
