I have a html4 table that creates a picture frame around a certain
sized image. That way I can place any image inside the frame on my web
page, without having to create image including a frame for every image
I post on my blog.

This is what the html4 version looks like when rendered on the
wordpress.com site that has a CSS defined table type.

This is more what it is supposed to look like.

Is there a tool anywhere that can make that conversion for me?

Are you sure you don't mean CSS3?

<http://developer.apple.com/library/safari/documentation/AppleApplicat...
Reference/SafariCSSRef/Articles/StandardCSSProperties.html
#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP30001266--webkit-border-image>

<http://css-tricks.com/understanding-border-image/>

Note that border-image uses a *single* image, while the 9-cell method
uses 8 slices of images; that precludes automatic conversion.

You are right CSS3.

So the bottom line is that I cannot use anything like an image table?

The table is not the problem, the CSS is the problem. You need to find which CSS file is defining the table and figure out why it is adding padding/spacing to the table elements.

However, there are at least seven stylsheets defined for that page, and I’m not willing to track through them all to figure out which one is the problem.

I recommend you use Firefox with the WebDeveloper plugin to see exactly what styles are applying to that table. FireBug might also be helpful.

Well, nothing says you "cannot"; you certainly may continue the "old"
way, it just means eight image hits on the server rather than one.
It's up to you. :)
