I’m trying to place several images in a blog entry and am finding it a challenge to determine the correct order and CSS alignments to pack them tightly so that there is minimal space. I tried simply dragging the images around in WordPress in visual-mode, but that caused a loss of data (the anchor tags were removed), plus, I still have to manually change the alignments.

Is there a program that can make this process easier?

You can read about various algorithms and grab the code on the following link. The context is for packing images together in CSS sprites but the methods should apply equally well to regular images.

I’ve already seen a dozen pages about that (including the one you linked to). I’m not in the mood to write code for what I would use once in a blue moon. I’m just looking for a program or website that facilitates this procedure. – Synetech Feb 9 at 5:34
