Worse than immaterial, it can be over-ridden easily in HTML code.  
"Easy" web page development software that lets you "re-size" images  
really only give instructions to the web browser about what size to  
make the image on the end-users screen. This often results in people  
uploading megapixel images, making them small when they build a web  
page, then having poor dial-up people wait ten minutes for the full- 
rez photo to download, only to have their computer throw away 99% of  
the pixels to display a tiny image.

So make the image the exact pixel dimensions you want to display,  
ignore DPI, and by all means DO NOT re-size the image in your web page  
composing software!
