How to line these up?

    On this example page, what would be the best way for me to line up the bottom of the title ‘Time to Rock’ and the ‘Filed under:’ ?
    https://www.horriblepain.com/quicks/lineups.html
    I’ve got a div-based version and a table version of the same post, and I’m not happy with either of them. The div-based version linearizes badly, while the table-based version is table-based. Meanwhile, neither one quite lines up the two lines.
    So, how should I do this?

    <table class=”post”>
    <tr>
    <td>Time to Rock</td>
    <td class=”meta”><div align=”right”>Filed under: Music</div></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td colspan=”2″ class=”meta” valign=”bottom”>by rrh @ 11:31 am</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td colspan=”2″ >The music. It is good for the rocking, yes. Lalulilelo. I need scissors. 61!

    I need to retain the <h4> tags. It loses structural markup without it.
    And I’m kind of hoping for an approach that doesn’t use tables.

    I found a solution to my own problem.
    This is in the style:
    h4 {
    font-size:25px;
    text-align:left;
    margin: 0px 40% 0px 5%;
    }
    .meta {
    margin: -22px 2% 10px 60%;
    text-align:right;
    font-size:16px;
    }
    This is in the body:
    <h4 id="post-123">Time to Rock</h4>
    <div class="meta">Filed under: Music

    by rrh @ 11:31 am</div>
    It has a two pixel variation between browsers, but it’s consistent enough for my tastes, uses no tables, and linearizes correctly.
