After, paste this code in your post HTML editor, in wordpress its here:

Change back to visual and edit the contents to suit your needs, if you need more rows, add:

<tr> <td>Create pretty table design</td> <td>100%</td> <td>Yes</td> </tr>

if you need more columns, you need to add a td in every tr, and a th in the table header.

<td>Create pretty table design</td>
<th>Task Details</th>
