On this site..1600x1200 is the maximum size. As for the vertical wallpaper your will have to make a border. Like say your picture is 800x1200. That means you will have to make a border/background/something that is 400px on each side of the image. Since i'm terrible at explaining this i'll draw a picture! lol:
400px | [Image that is 800px] | 400px <-- All of that is 1200px tall.
How to do that, photoshop/infranview/GIMP should do the trick. To do that in those programs (well in this case photoshop..but it should be the same in the other two):
1) Open up your picture
2) Image --> Image size. Then check the "contrain proportions box"
3) Change the image size so that the height is either 600, 960, 1200, etc. The width of the image should change so it doesnt turn fat. =P Click ok.
4) Image --> Canvas size. Enter canvas size so its 1600x1200, 1280x960, 800x600, etc.
5) Make the background color whatever you like...i like blk.
For example: You have an image 1000x500. You downsize it (with the proportions box checked) to [automatic number] x 600 <-- 600 is the most sensible in this case. Then go to canvas size, and make it 800x600. You will have empty spaces on either side of the image, so just fill them in with a color of choice.
If that was confusing..i can understand, I'm a confusing person. ;-) Just ask again and sum1 else will explain better.
