The image doesn't have the correct dimensions to be a desktop wallpaper.

^^^^^^
Can someone please explain what this means, to me? I tried to upload a picture and that was my response.

upload at 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024 or 1600x1200 if the numbers are bigger or smaller than they should be, I guess it doesn't go in.

1516x1008 has a rather odd aspect ratio - 1.50397:1. Try to resize it manually to an aspect ratio of 1.25:1 or 1.3333:1, or better yet, make it to one of the dimensions _DRU_has mentioned.

4:3 is normal aspect ratio (usually).

From the FAQs page: "The server will accept images at the following pixel widths and heights: 800x600, 1024x768, 1152x864, 1280x1024, 1600x1200. We chose these sizes because they are the most commonly supported resolutions on current video card and monitors. Please upload the largest image size that you have. The server will automatically make the smaller sizes for you."

You'll notice that 1280x1024 is 5:4 ratio - some desktops sizes do follow different ratios. I'm fairly sure you can upload 1280x960 too, although it doesn't have it on the list (again, standard 4:3 ratio).
