Well actually your should! Images at resolutions meant for printing
(thousands of pixels on a side) are not really suitable for use on the
web where 600 pixels is pretty damn big! Constraining with HTML does
nothing to reduce the large files size of such images so the whole file
must be downloaded, a real pain on dialup and a real waste of bandwidth
Try something like IrfanView freeware that can batch size images
