You can use a simple table like

<table>
<tr><td><img .. /></td><td><img .. /></td></tr>
<tr><td><img .. /></td><td><img .. /></td></tr>
</table>

will give you a 2x2 grid for example.

Personally I just inline them `a la

Sometimes it's worth selecting no conversion if you're doing fiddly
stuff with HTML in a blog entry (look for the "Convert Line Breaks"
drop-down and experiment.)

>             float: left;

the float style can be a bit dodgy in some browsers and I've found it
really hard to predict WTF is going to happen in some circumstances
(e.g. mixing with align in <p> or <img>)

HTH,
