Christine, DPI/PPI doesn't matter for web viewing, only for printing. If you post a image say 800 pixels wide at 72 ppi - you will get a 11.1 inch print if you use 72 dpi (poor quality print) if you print at 300 dpi you will get a 2.6 inch print size (good quality print)
Try saving a inamge at say 30 ppi, you still will not see much difference when viewing on the web.
