The presentation covers almost everything at a tempo that is easy to follow. No technical or grammatical errors that I caught and the sound quality is consistent throughout the presentation. Nice quick coverage of a table plugin option.

One thing that kept me from using the native table block and pushed me toward a table plugin was the ability or inability to style the content in individual cells rather than the table as a whole. That is now possible (or maybe always has been and I didn't know how to do it), so you might consider adding a short segment on that capability.

Great job Wes! Haven't had a need for table but good to know this is available. I like that you added some plugin suggestions to help with creating table people want to see and not just a generic one.

Thank you for the feedback @lada7042 and @SierraTR.

The checklist is great.

Great tutorial @westnz, as mentioned by @SierraTR the reason I use a plugin is for style purposes only. I can't find anything that needs changing.

Thank you! @digitalchild 😃
