So what does all the stuff in the "mogrify" command mean?

mogrify -format gif *

mogrify This is the name of the program that will perform the batch conversion. If you just type "mogrify" you will see a list of the options.
-format gif This tells the mogrify program that you wish the output to be in "gif" format.
* This tells mogrify that you wish to convert EVERY file in the current directory! This is why it's important to work in a "temp" directory and to store ONLY the jpg files! If you are working with files that HAVE the .jpg extension, you could also type *.jpg
