table cells suddenly misaligned

[plail]

I just noticed that the tables on my website are slightly misaligned. It appears to be an issue of vertical alignment; some of the table cells are a couple of pixels higher or lower than they should be.

The problem is easiest to see on the main banner on my index page: http://www.underthesugar.com/index.html
(I'm attaching an image that compares the original table with the misaligned table.)

I haven't made any recent changes to the pages that have been affected, so I can't figure out what's causing the problem. However, I upgraded my blog, http://www.underthesugar.com/blog/, from a previous version of Wordpress to the new 2.3.3 version yesterday...and soon after I noticed the problem with the table on my index page. Could it be related to the Wordpress upgrade? And if so, how might I address the issue?

If anyone has some suggestions for me, I'd be very appreciative. Thanks a lot for your help and for taking the time to read this post.

Cheers!

Tables cause alot of problems with positioning, 95% of all web designers will tell you how much easier it is to just use divs. I'm sure someone here could give you a link to a site that would be a good place to learn about div's and how to use them effectively.


Thanks,
