Description of problem

I'm still trying to learn forumotion coding (migrating my site over from zeta) so I'm not too familiar with the intricacies of Table design here.

What I'd liked to do with what's pictured below, is spread out the gap between columns a bit more, so that "date" and "show" columns, and others, have a bit more space between them.

Also, is it possible to create borders or grids for all the columns and rows so the information is visually separated?

Lastly, can someone elaborate on how to use CSS code to further customize Tables? @luffy was kind enough to provide me with this CSS code below, but I do not know how to use it. Outside of identifying the tables to reference them.

Thank you for the help!

To the code I gave you the last time, you can do these additions:
Code:
[table id="tableHeader"]
to
Code:
[table id="tableHeader" cellspacing="0" border="1"]
Then
Code:
[table id="tableContent"]
to
Code:
[table id="tableContent" cellspacing="0" border="1"]
And then
Code:
[table id="tableFooter"]
to
Code:
[table id="tableFooter" cellspacing="0" border="1"]

Then you can add this as your CSS:
Code:
/*Table header*/
table#tableHeader {
  padding: 3px;
}
/*Table Columns*/
table#tableContent {
  padding: 3px;
}
td.testing1 {
  padding: 3px;
} /* for the first column of your table */
td.testing2 {
  padding: 3px;
} /* for the second column of your table */
/*Table Footer*/
table#tableFooter {
  padding: 3px;
}

Thank you so much just what I needed @luffy !

Only other question I have is it possible to add background images to the tables, so the text lays on top of it?

For a custom HTML table code, you may put it as
Code:
<table background="image-link">
or adding image background for header only
Code:
<table class="yourTable">
<thead>
<tr><td>Title</td></tr>
</thead>
Adding CSS
Code:
table.yourTable thead {
background:url("image-link") center repeat-x;
}
