how can i get ride of those ugly white spaces between each column and row? can this be better accomplished using list items, and how?

Usually I'm against tables for almost everything but this is a proper time to use them. You are showing a table of data so that's okay. To get rid of those ugly white space your table needs the following attribute: cellspacing="0"
