Another way to do this is to use the <pre> ... </pre> tags
which are normally used for preformatting text. Just do something like
this:
<pre>
<img src="...."> <img src=".....">
picture number 1 another picture
<img src="...."> <img src="....">
third picture bottom right
</pre>
With the <pre> tag, the spaces are significant, and can be used to
position the images. The words, however, will come out ugly.
For another example, the Art.Net gallery has been laid out this way.

The hotspots within an image are called "Image Maps."
You can designate an image as an image map, and then there is a script
on the server that maps rectangles within the image (as many as you
want) to specific URLs. We only have just set up the capability to do
this on art.net (it's fairly closely related to forms), but have not
yet tried it. If you really wnat to do it, keep nudging us webmaestros
(hint: chocolate chip cookies?) (you didn't hear that...) and maybe we
can get something going?
