Can anyone suggest what settings are optimal for both eye appeal and ability to post here.

Thanks for any help!
I scan everything at 600dpi for clarity (it eliminates any odd patterns due to various forms of dot-based printing), then just do a bulk resize of the resulting images. I usually resize down to 1000 pixels on the longest side, unless I have some need for a larger image. That typically leaves me with files in the 90-120kb range, but manageable size and reasonable quality.
