Raven,
When they ask for 800X800 it means total size.
800ppi is way to much resolution and 200 is screen resolution. A resolution of over 72 ppi is a waste since all it does is make loading a page go slower.
In Photoshop I first went to pull down menu image, selected "size" and put 120 in the boxes for sizeXsize (120 went into the box that contained the larger #), go to the pull down menu, select file and go to "save for web" let go of mouse button and follow prompts. If you look at my avatar, you'll see what happens. The original size was 8X10 inches and scanned at 600ppi then I downsampled to 72ppi and changed the pixel dimensions as described. I forget what the requirements were for the avatar (I think it was 120x120) but as you can see, it looks okay.
