Howdy all,
Prior to upgrading to 2.5, I was using Alex Rabe's WP-Table plugin [LINK]. Unfortunately, it is not compatible with 2.5 and he has indicated that he does not plan to update the plugin so that it's compatible with 2.5.
It was pretty much perfect for my needs, which was tracking election polls. Given that this plugin won't be working with 2.5 anytime soon, my question/request is:
Any suggestions for an similar alternative to this plugin? If not another plugin, is there something else that I could do to get a similar result?
Many thanks!
Try Google Docs, create a spreadsheet, you can then publish the data or a chart in your blog. This may work, although it's not as nice as an integrated plugin.

You might try the Tiny MCE Advanced plugin. It's been updated for 2.5, and it has a tables button.
(Disclaimer: I love the plugin, but I've never tried out the tables button function, so don't know how good it is -- on the occasions when I've needed to insert a table into a page, I create it in my HTML editor first, and then cut and paste.)
An Alternative to Google Docs is the Google Charts API, it will give you almost any graph, with many options about titling and axis etc.

the only problem is that you must have the data on hand to put in the url of the image, as well as the field labels. read the documentation on the page above, it is all rel. easy to get to grips with

I'm using Alex Rabe's plugin on WP 2.5 and my tables are still displaying correctly. When do problems surface?
