The best application for creating websites is a text editor. To use it 
you just need to know a few essentials about html. For example:

If you have all your images in a folder and creates appropriate 
thumbnails fo them in the same folder, then in your webpage:

<table>
<tr>
<td><a target="_blank" href="original_image_1.jpeg"><img alt="comment" 
src="thumbnail_1.jpeg"></a></td>
<td><a target="_blank" href="original_image_2.jpeg"><img  alt="comment" 
src="thumbnail_2.jpeg"></a></td>
</tr>
</table>

and so and an so forth.

On the other hand, most browsers will try to downscale the original 
images into such a table, but the loading time will be much longer.

If you dont want to set aside 10 minutes to learn html, you could use 
one of the wysiwyg editors - for example the good, old seamonkey (which 
is a browser as well).
