OK....calm down...

'Twas me who sent the email.
A wallpaper needs ideally to be a zipped bmp for the 'file', and a full-screen size jpg for the 'preview image'.
What you uploaded was a small pic....heaven knows exactly what size, but you ain't the first nor the last to 'get it wrong'....

Just save your pretty picture as a jpg, as well as the format you drew/created it in....and upload the jpg version as the 'preview', zip the bmp, jpg, or multiple resolutions into one zip and upload as the 'file'.

That'll do it...

OK...I see you upped it again...the jpg we received shows up as 171x137 pixels....which ain't quite right.
Ideally it should be a jpg the same size as the bitmap you did, namely 1024x768.

As for the wall's content/quality....big personal website addresses, or 'self-promotion' isn't terribly popular with walls.....may mean a lot to you, but not to Joe Public.

The word to look for is 'SUBTLETY'...

Keep at it though, some of the best have had their work moderated or rejected when they first started out. If you can get your wall up here you know you have done a quality piece. Good luck!
