Cindy, i was able to cut it down to about 21k, but it's not going to get
much smaller than that without a large loss of quality.  reducing the
number of colours is a technique best reserved for indexed image formats...

i don't mean to be judgemental, buy why didn't you take this first to
whoever will be doing the graphics and logos portion of your website design?

If you'd like to look at or use that graphic, i've put it up on 
http://www.myna.com/~tempest/list/desert2.jpg for a bit of time.

nice design, but there's some problems with your code that you may want to
run through a validator, or at least they should get cleaned up /before/
you start to charge for this as a service.. \=)
