The main drawback of this method is you can not edit the data of the table and are unable to insert a link within the table.
If you want to edit or change any data in the table then you have to recreate a table with the updated data and then again upload it on the Blogger server and change the old image to the new one.
Using these two methods discussed, you can easily insert a table on your Blogger (Blogspot) hosted blog post. The first method is more efficient than the second one.
