Will.

Even nicer: get yourself a Linux distrib (will give you your own
webserver, decent perl, Gimp [forget Photoshop], the best HTML editor
on earth and much, much more...) and use ImageMagick's convert for
something like this:

for i in *gif       
do
convert -size 50% $i > $i.TmP
mv $i.TmP $i
done
