# Outstanding!

# top tip:
This type of drawing (plain colors, no gradients) gets a whole lot smaller in (file)size when saved as .gif instead of .jpg while still maintaining best image quality.
Also, get rid of the HTML scaling and scale down your originals instead (you can still link to a larger version if you must). These steps should easily bring it down to under 100kb.

# oooh, now it's so small that you can't read it without CFB, but at least under 100k
As I said, try using the gif format, here's one that's readable and only about 75k in size (using 64 colors). Alternatively, use higher jpg compression.

# Fuck me
HOW BIG DO YOU WANT?

People did ask you before, you replied, you acknowledged it was big (though you didn't change the picture). Then you go and post a picture that's 600 fucking k (edit: got carried away there). Which isn't much but it's six times bigger than the guideline, which even with a liberal take on filesizes is just taking the fucking piss.

This would probably be 80k if you saved it as a GIF or an indexed PNG -- with no loss of quality whatosever. Leaving it as an absurdly large JPG is nothing more than sheer fucking laziness.

Sorry fella. Lack of sleep + lack of morning coffee = loss of perspective. No excuse for being a prick.

# I
couldn't figure out how to save it as a gif in photoshop for some reason. It said save as "compuserve gif" , and i wasn't sure if that was the same thing...
