Technical tips from admins on how to compress images to required 100k without losing quality ( from a recent discussion elsewhere):

1) "Jpg images have a "quality" value. Just dropping that from 100 to 80 can cut in half the file size with no notable difference. Pixlr is a super easy to use free online tool that lets you do that, and almost all image editors should have that capability." Courtesy of PicassoAndPringles. Comment: Preview on Mac OS X does not seem to have this capability.

2) "you should be able to accomplish the task easily with http://tinypng.com. (Although the site stresses its ability to shrink pngs, it also handles jpgs quite well.)" Courtesy of CzechOut
