The following was originally written for avatars, but it's just as useful for signatures as well:

For those of you who find your avatar over the file size limit and happen to have Adobe Photoshop, it may be a good idea to open your avatar in PS and use "Save For Web & Devices". I'm a fan of .PNG due to it's quality benefits over .JPG/.JPEG, so I use the preset "PNG-8".

Another tip to keep your file size down is to save your .PNG or .JPG from a .PSD with as few layers as possible. An easy way to achieve this is to open your avatar's .PSD file, press Ctrl+A to select all, Ctrl+C to copy, open a new photoshop document with dimensions from clipboard, and Ctrl+V to paste. Your end result should look the same as your main .PSD file's output, except when you Save For Web & Devices with this file, you'll get a smaller file sized .PNG/.JPG.
