Rotate!

This should go without saying, but time and time again I see photos posted online or on people's computer screens that are not oriented properly. From a viewer's standpoint, this looks even less than amateurish... and from the standpoint of one who does not have a very flexible neck - this is literally a pain in the neck... straining to try to see the photo as it was originally taken. It is a simple step that takes only a second but will mean a lot to those viewing your photos and one that lets people know that you care about them. If you are working in windows (thumbnail view), you can right click on the photo and in the menu you can choose "Rotate Clockwise" or "Rotate Counterclockwise." It's as simple as that! If you are actually in a viewer or photo editor, there are also ways to rotate your photo, depending on the program. Do your viewers a favor and reduce this major distraction and just rotate them before publishing.
