para 1: 'This is the tutorial for optimising animations in abobe imageready.' (it's animation shop. a quick check shows you made the abobe/adobe typo on the imageready page as well.)
2nd bulleted list: 'flawour' (again, same typo on the IR page)
step 3: 'fist pane'
step 3: include a picture of the panes? or maybe even screenshots of an optimised-too-far and an optimised-just-right
step 3: 'Start with as small an image as possible and then decrease the compression until you feel the animation looks acceptable.'
I use animation shop, and I'm honestly not certain what you mean by that sentence, sorry :( In other words does 'image' mean frame-size, or animation-size-in-bytes; and 'decrease the compression' is pretty ambiguous as well.
It might also help to add something to the effect that if the optimisation slider isn't producing a decent result, then there's the advanced settings which let you fiddle directly with the number of colours and whether error diffusion is enabled.
step 3: 'larger than around 200Kb' I'd suggest just deleting that 'around' word (and also on the pages for the other tools), otherwise, you'll end up with a load of twunts posting 400K files as those are 'only a bit bigger than 300Kb which is certainly around 200Kb'.
also: maybe add something on cropping (particulary if the animation has several background changes), and also fades (i.e. avoid like the plague).
