    If you just save it as a gif, it should be a small file size. I think you can fiddle around with the file size more if you do, File<Save for web.

    save for web...

    reduce the numbers of colors on .gifs also mess around with the coloring mode, you want to get lots of rows of the same color for a smile file size. for .jpgs just push up the compression.
