   I recently updated a sort of "tags" page on my blog by adding images instead of the former text links. I can not seem to get the images to display as I'd like.
   I am using Wu Wei. The width of my content area is 460 pixels. My images are 225 wide. I would like to have the images in 2 columns (6 rows). I messed around with it for quite a while before finally deciding to try to use a table to get it the way I want.

   It's been a long time since I used html and I am rusty. The table continues to display with a border, when I want none, and with significant space around each image in its cell, when I want no space at all. In my Visual editor it displays as I want it. Is this an unavoidable result of my theme's CSS? Can anyone enlighten me?

   Yes it's a result of your theme's CSS but not an unavoidable one. Change all your opening td tags to this:
   <td style="border:none;padding:0;">

   Thank you! That worked to remove the border. But there is still a bit of space between the images. I don't mind how it looks as is, but I would like to see it with 0 or 1 pixels of space between the images. Any idea why there's still so much space?

   Change all of these:
   <img class="alignleft size-full etc. etc.
   to this:
   <img style="margin:0;" class="size-full etc. etc.

   For a little bit of space, write "margin:1px;" instead.

   Yay! Thank you so much! 1 pixel margin is perfect. :)

   You're welcome!
   (As I forgot to mention but you certainly realized, the reason for the extra space was that your theme also specifies margins for images - more often than not, a desirable thing.)
