this is what I do:

1 - my layout is open in my work space
2 - go into Image>Image size
3 - click "auto", then "draft", then OK - this automatically changes your resolution to 72
4 - go into File>Save for Web (I've got mine set for "2 UP)
5 - make sure you're saving as a jpeg and optimized is checked
6 - use the quality slider to get it as close to under 100k as possible
7 - then hit "save"

sometimes, if my canvas is big to start with and I've got a lot of stuff going on it (like a 12x12), I will insert another step in between steps 2 & 3 - before I switch to draft quality, I will change the actual size of my image from 12 x 12 to either 10 x 10 or 8 x 8, and then change it to draft.

HTH!
