other than the advice everyone else gave you, only thing i can add to it is that you pick the right format. Here's a quick overview of 'optimal' formats to use on the internet.

Clipart/Simple Graphics : Use GIF format.
Complex Clipart, Graphics that share a lot of the same colors: Use PNG format.
Photo's : Use JPG (or JPEG).

(Although the W3C now recommends all GIF formats be replaced with PNG, simple graphics actually take up less space when using GIF.)
