  Why is my Gravatar profile image rotated the wrong way? When I upload the image file it is correctly rotated but when uploaded it appears incorrectly. Any idea how to fix it?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  @ tinajwild,

  Many computers will automatically rotate images for you when you preview them on your desktop. In that case, the image will look correctly rotated on your computer, but the file itself is not rotated so it appears sideways when you upload it.

  There is currently no way to rotate images once they have been uploaded to Gravatar, so you will need to rotate the image before you upload it. You can use your favorite desktop image editor or an online photo editor such as Photoshop Express:

  If you have any questions about this, please let me know!
