A grid view of thumbnails give pleasant browsing experience. We find them pretty comfortable on our smart phones to select required apps and pictures on galleries. Bloggers can have that experience on their blogs too. Here we shall learn how to create awesome grid of thumbnails which can be linked to favorite posts, youtube videos or any thing else. You can see 3 X 3 thumb nail grid below. These thumbnails can used as buttons to web sites or affiliate sites too. I have linked these thumbnails to some of my blogs and affiliate sites. You can test these your selves now.

How do you feel? Are they awesome? You can too add them to your blog, here we go
1. Add below code for 3X 3 table to your post in Html editor
<table border="2"width="100%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="3">
<tr>
<td>Table Cell</td>
<td>Table Cell</td>
<td>Table Cell</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Table Cell</td>
<td>Table Cell</td>
<td>Table Cell</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Table Cell</td>
<td>Table Cell</td>
<td>Table Cell</td>
</tr>
</table>
2. Turn to compose mode and you can see a table appears like this
| Table Cell | Table Cell | Table Cell |
| Table Cell | Table Cell | Table Cell |
| Table Cell | Table Cell | Table Cell |
3. Open Photo shop soft ware and prepare 'Nine' thumbnail images with 150 X 150 pixels dimensions and save them with proper names in Jpg format.
4. Open blogger and replace text in nine cells with images you made earlier using insert image tool.
5. Update the post and check once if your thumbnails are displayed properly.
6. If you like to add links to thumbnails, select a image in cell and add link to it using 'Add or remove link' tool. While adding link to image it may not respond first time, click it again to open "Edit link" window and paste the link and save.
7.Update the post and test the thumbnails once.
Note:- Creating images larger than 150 X 150 pixels may cause the thumbnails to encroach into side bars.
If you wish to have more rows down, just add code again and again as shown below and that creates extra three cell rows below.
<table border="2"width="100%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="3">
<tr>
<td>Table Cell</td>
<td>Table Cell</td>
<td>Table Cell</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Table Cell</td>
<td>Table Cell</td>
<td>Table Cell</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Table Cell</td>
<td>Table Cell</td>
<td>Table Cell</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Table Cell</td>
<td>Table Cell</td>
<td>Table Cell</td>
</tr>
</table>If you wish to hide lines of table just replace table border attribute "2" with "0" you can see as below.
