 * Hi Tobias,
 * Me Again 🙂
    OK, I’m working on our family genealogy web page [http://www.majcgenealogy-slovenia.com](http://www.majcgenealogy-slovenia.com)
   and I would like to add some information. One of them is PLACES in Slovenia and
   that would be approx. between 7000-9000!!! 1. Is it possible to do that? 2. Will
   page run “normal” or it will be slow because of a big table? 3. Is it possible
   on top of Table to add Alphabet ( A – B – C -…) so that when somebody is searching
   village that start on L (like Ljubljana) would just click on L and here we are
   at L? 4. Is it possible to add small picture (a FLAG, GER, ENG, ITA, HUN, SLO)
   for better looking of the table?
 * Sorry to bother you with so many questions!
 * Sincerely,
    Ivan

 * Hi Ivan,
 * 1. Well, that’s hard to answer. It should be possible to have such a large table,
   but you will definitely not be happy. It will be very slow on the table’s “Edit”
   screen, so that you will have trouble editing the table in WordPress directly.
   You would probably have to do all editing e.g. in Excel.
    2. The site itself 
   should not be affected that much, but the “Edit” screen will be, as explained
   in 1. 3. I don’t have an automatic solution for this, but you could use a similar
   idea as here: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/table-width/page/2?replies=55#post-3882265](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/table-width/page/2?replies=55#post-3882265)
   4. Yes, pictures are no problem. You can add images easily with the “Insert image”
   button or by manually adding the HTML code. But for 9000 rows this will of course
   be some work…
 * So, in summary, I’d actually recommend a slightly different approach: You could
   create several smaller tables, e.g. one for each letter of the alphabet. These
   would be smaller, and it should be easier to edit them. You could then use a 
   plugin that can create “tabs” to show those A, B, C, D, … tabs, and every tab
   has one table for that letter.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Dear Tobias,
    Thank you for your quick reply, really, thank you.
 * 1. Working in Excel would not be a problem.
    2. I would rather edit in excel 
   3. Since I do not have ANY experiences with “coding” that would be hard for me,
   HEY but I could give you access to my web page and would you do that? 🙂 4. GREAT
   4.1. IF everything will work fine by doing everything in excel and then just 
   import I will rather use that way, however if might have a problem then I will
   come to your suggestion and ask you for more help 🙂
 * Tobias, I hope you’ll have great weekend so that you could rest from us 🙂
 * Ivan

 * Hi,
 * ok, when working in Excel is no problem, you could give this a try.
 * For 3. That’s not really coding. It’s more about the content of the first cell
   with a word that starts with a certain letter.
 * Best wishes,
    Tobias
