Put your images/text in paragraphs. You do not need table cells to
display images and text.

It is not more difficult (I think it is much *less* difficult), it is
just ... different.
S'far as I know, all modern browsers interpret basic CSS correctly. Note
that IE is not a modern browser, marches to its own drum, but if you
don't use really fancy stuff, it will work fine.
Look at this site of mine. Lots of text, a number of images, and the
only tables on the whole site contain .. what they were designed for ..
tabular data.
