You need to really download them and view them in the gimp and examine
the exif because on the original images coming out of the camera, SOME
applications, like new firefox, read the camera's orientation data
and display accordingly. Some applications do not. The solution is
to actually rotate the actual image.
Actually, if I was going to modernize this, there would be 2 options,
one to just rotate by chaning the exif data, and one to physically
rotate the image.
