Ok, I have a problem. How do I resize my images in LR2? Even using 720 as my long side I fall short of the 200KB size requirement. Or is there a thread someone can point me to.

Thanks in advance for any input.

Within Export.. you have two areas to work with:
1) File Settings
2) Image Sizing

Image Sizing allows you to vary the size of the output image in terms of vertical and horizontal pixel count. Within File Settings if you choose JPG as the output you have a quality slider. This determines the amount of compression. The higher the quality, the less the compression and the larger the file size.

So... set the long size to 720 pixels in Image Sizing and then play with the Quality slider until you get the image under the required size.

You may also want to look at LR2/Mogrify which gives you more sizing and compression options.
