I SOLVED THE PROBLEM!!!

I finally had pics taken in front of my home. I just posted one and for some reason, it's showing the picture on the side. It's straight up on my computer desktop. I tried using paint.net to rotate it and whatever it looks like rotated on my screen IS showing up that way on the blog. So only upright is showing up looking different. What do I do?

UPDATE:

I solved the problem and it wasn't an easy one to solve. I will keep this post up, in case anyone gets the same problem. It seems there is something called EXIF and with newer technology it makes the picture rotate properly. That's the good news. The bad news is there are many sites like SFF that can't recognize the values that the EXIF gives, so the rotation is incorrect. I found and used a free program called JPEG LOSSLESS ROTATOR from CNET's site. It rotated my pictures and removed the EXIF values. I had to rotate all the pictures at one time choosing the automatic tab, to rotate them correctly and voila, it worked. I am not recommending anything but it worked for me. What a pain in the you-know-what it was today. I hate unsolved mysteries so I had to figure out a solution. Here is another picture in front of my house.

I have Windows. I go to Pictures, find the one I want, double click on it. I can rotate the picture there using the curved arrow near the bottom. Then it stays like that for me. When I attach it somewhere, it stays in the correct position.

Hope that helps!!

Unfortunately, it didn't work. I knew it wouldn't because I see it looking proper on my desktop and everywhere else. It only rotated when I put it on here and I assume would do the same on FB and other sites. The pictures were taken with a cell phone, not my video camera. I don't know how to get it looking correct. Thanks for trying, Rocket. I appreciate it.

Thanks Rocket.

Yes, for now, that's the only way I can show anyone where I live. I'm sorry about that.

Thanks LakeWalker but I don't think that's the issue either. I have uploaded pics on this site, that were taken on my video camera, and they were fine. They were all portrait (or almost all) mode. I'm not sure what the problem is or how to fix it, but there's more to it than being portrait mode. Thanks for your comment and trying to help me.

You'll have to ask the people next door. That's their house that has the ladder.

Thanks for your cute comment.

Thanks for the pics of your neigborhood. I like the decorative gardening in front of the house.

You're welcome, LakeWalker. I'm glad it will help other members too. I have a persistent nature, as my friends and family can attest to. It bothered me so I had to find a solution.

I'm glad you like it, Lucy.

The patio in the back is so peaceful. I'll be putting up pics of it in the future.
