When I awoke, I had some ideas.
First of all, I remembered how to put CSS code inline with the HTML and commenced on that. First I figured out the padding problem that was preventing me from making the cells only as big as the text characters. I tried defining the cell size (mathematically wrong at first.) That didn't work, but when I did get the padding, for some reason it was working only on the left and right, but not top and bottom.
I defined the size of the entire table. That did no good at all, but I left it. It wasn't hurting anything as long as I had the width defined.
Why could I NOT reduce the height of the ...
That gave me an idea!!! Line height! Could THIS be the cuprit???
Yes, it was!
But I STILL had those white lines. But I DID have the cells as small as I wanted them, and I adjusted them down even more by making the text smaller. Now I had a cell fit comfortably in the middle, more or less, in every region.
The picture above was the end result of this work. The day was young, so I decided, after asking for help on WA for this, that nobody would even respond (later found that four people DID respond.)
I went on to something else ... which produced MORE problems (sheesh!)
You have definitely accomplished what you set out with this motivational lesson.
Brilliant job.

The site that this is on has been sitting and it's a sister site to one that doesn't belong to me. This is a directory site for alternative medicine practitioners and I have no idea yet how to pull this off.
I do have learning materials.
We have maps to show us where something is that we otherwise would not be able to find. When we start out, we must put faith on maps to get us there because we can't see around the first bend nor past the headlights of our automobile.
I agree with you about maps. In a sense, they are something that we all should be using to guide us through the development of our businesses. Helping us keep on track and keeping us on the right road to success.
It starts with an idea. Then it goes to planning out how this idea can be manifested into reality. From here it's setting goals (I didn't do this here and should have.) Finally it's implementing this thing out until it's there. From here on, it's improving what's there already.
I'm grateful you shared this. Obstacles will eventually cross our paths along this IM journey; your story serves as an inspiration (as you meant it) to push ahead and work our way through.
Thank you so much.
In a perfect world where we start out with a good deal of money, we can just assign the idea or task and have it done, but here we are as you said having to wear many hats until we reach a certain knowledge and experience level.
I like having to learn in the rough as you have shown in your tutorial, knowledge seems to stick better in my brain that way.
Thank you for taking the time to share your journey and the lesson that goes along with it, I appreciate you. :)
This thing is primitive, but it does exactly what I need it to do. Today I will build a prototype page that will come off the map when someone clicks on one of the links. This will ensure there are no problems with adding hyperlinks into the table. I don't expect there will be any problems, but not known until it is attempted.
Since Florida is my home state, I will probably do it to that one first off.
