After altering the image size, you can also change the file size by adjusting the quality slider during the save process.

To upload on the web best to resize in pixels. So when you get the image size dialogue, enter 600 pixels in the box with the longest edge (width or height). The other box will change automatically.

Press enter and when asked abouty the quality of the jpg you are looking for a file size under 100kb - Quality 10 should be ok but you may need to drop to 8 or 9.

If you don't own your own software, here is the forum howto and includes a link for freeware which is what I use. It is very simple to use.
