I am trying to modify a template navigation bar. It has 4 links like Home, About Us etc. What I would like to end up with is 8 links (not sure what you call these things). So I figured all I would need to do is cut the "width" in half for each of the links and then add 4 more. This isn't working

For example, I changed the td width="137" to "68", width 150 to 75 etc.
If anyone could help me out, I would appreciate it.
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" height="24" width="667" id="table2">
<tr>
<td width="10" height="24" align="center">
<div style="padding-left:3px; padding-top:0px">
</div>
</td>
<td width="137" height="24" align="center" bgcolor="#E0EBE9">
<a class="blacktext" href="index.html">
<span style="text-decoration: none; font-weight:700">Home</span></a></td>
<td width="10" height="24" align="center" bgcolor="#E0EBE9">
<font color="#486962"><b>|</b></font></td>
<td width="150" height="24" align="center" bgcolor="#E0EBE9">
<b>
<span style="text-decoration: none">
<font style="font-size: 9pt">Articles</font></span></b></td>
<td width="10" height="24" align="center" bgcolor="#E0EBE9">
<font color="#486962"><b>|</b></font></td>
<td width="145" height="24" align="center" bgcolor="#E0EBE9">
<b>
<span style="font-size: 9pt; text-decoration: none">Contact Us</span></b></td>
<td width="10" height="24" align="center" bgcolor="#E0EBE9">
<font color="#486962"><b>|</b></font></td>
<td width="158" height="24" align="center" bgcolor="#E0EBE9">
<b>
<span style="font-size: 9pt; text-decoration: none">About Us</span></b></td>
<td width="10" height="24" align="center">
</td>
</tr>

Thanks,
