I think I discovered something. I'm new at this. Some of you have referenced the thumbnail and screenshot images, but since they are not actually a part of the gadget, I didn't think the size mattered. Apparently it does. One of my images was 104kb. Even though it isn't part of the actual gadget, it was still rejected. I compressed it under 100kb and it was accepted.
