WellIt all started with CS3, which I may add is a bit of a cunt about exporting gifs-- it does but it adds artifacts. I exported it as a series which works fine, then put them together with a bit of freeware. I then resized it in the Gimp until it was under 400k.
If you have a better idea, this making things smaller is ruining them.

You have cs3, but not ImageReady?Imageready should come with it, and it has customisable optimisation for animations.

There's an option in one of the drop down lists that should say Open in Imageready.So you don't need to bugger about trying to find it.
Just have each frame you want ready and open in one image, each in a different layer.

Try Animation Shop 3.It is actually pretty good for optimising animations from a series of gifs. I suspect you are doing something wrong in your exporting of gifs from Photoshop though. They should never be that big I wouldn't think.
