As was stated by someone else, for the web, you don't really need to worry about DPI, just the total number of pixels. I'm not sure what software you are using to do you sizing/sharpening - but I just set the final pixel size, and then sharpen. If you save that as a tiff, you don't need to worry about compression. Then do a series of convert/compressions to jpg to see how small you can make it without causing problems. For the most part, you should be able to size to about 800 pixels on the long edge and be less than 300K and still have a very good image.
