Minimize the use of tables in layouts

Once again, I was going to link to this article, but got a 404 error when I tried to.

The debate about whether or not tables should be used in site design has been going on for years and there’s no end in site. I fall somewhere in the middle � there are certain circumstances (like organizing tabular data) where I think tables still make the most sense, but I also appreciate the SEO benefits of using CSS layouts. CSS layouts drastically reduce the amount of code in your site that isn’t content that the user sees. Just like moving CSS and JavaScript to an external file, the less on-page code that isn’t content, the better. Check out search engine friendly layouts for some free example layouts.
