Yes first make a duplicate of your Layout so you don't oversave your original one you will want to keep to print for yourself.
Then Image > Resize and type in 500x500 pixels, I personally do not change the 300ppi to 72ppi as all that does is affect the size of which would be a print size.
Then when you choose to save it as a .jpg you will notice that there is an "Options" button to click on the save dialog window, click that and the JPEG Compression window will open. I usually turn the Compression Factor to around 8-10 then click Run Optimizer and adjust the "Set Compression value to" A number that displays the compressed file size to something around 120,000 bytes. This number is just up to the right of the Download Times tab on that dialog box. It will update the compression size number for you as the raise or lower the compression value.
Then click OK and you are done and can upload to a gallery
