Jump to PostWell, if you had jpeg's you could save the images at a lower quality; but I don't know what to do. Since you're using photoshop, try the "Save for Web" option in the file menu and see if that helps.

Use gif images, they are much more compressed than jpegs and were originally designed for use on the web. Rixius was right, try the save for the web option, you can save gif files there and tweak their options.
