Why am I so technically challenged?

I sure hope there are more folks like me out there.  I could spend 24 hours a day trying to figure what to do technically on ebay, facebook, here, NING, etc etc etc.  I just took some pics of my newest creations for the National Halloween Convention at the end of April. I was anxious to share them with my friends on Facebook and when I attempted to post the pics they were "sideways" . I tried rotating them in edit and they remained as they were. Same thing happened on ebay when I uploaded my photos from my Picassa ( where I have all of my photos) . They were all correct onb Picassa but when I uploaded them on ebay and also on facebook they werent. It is very frustrating for me . I read and read  and try to follow instructions etc but to no avail. Trouble is I dont want to take all day fussing with these sorts of things when I could be painting or sculpting something fun.  Tis as pity that I "JUST DONT GET IT"!  For most it is very simple but for me its a real dilemma.. I am going to attempt to add the same pics here and see what happens. SIGH  Bear with me please.  In the meantime let me tell you I have been a busy busy fool, trying to have lots of goodies to send to the convention.  My STJ group will be representing Halloween artists and I anxious to see how my hard work will pay off.  Later---------

Halloween Queens new site

My ebay group AHQU has introduced a new selling sit called Castle Bootique. Get it?
BOOtique. You will find many wonderful and creative Halloween themed item for sale there.  Pretty cool.  When I get some more time I plan to get busy on more items to sell there.  In April and May I have many obligations. For one, my small town of Cannon Beach, OR. has its yearly "Spring Unveiling" art event.  I would sure like to be able to be involved this year and have completed three new paintings but thats not nearly enough.
Sigh
And then, another biggie for me is the National Halloween Convention back east and spookytimejingles, my other selling site is a main outlet for my Halloween goodies.  I would love to be able to send a lot of items there as its major exposure.   So with all thats going I wont have a minute to waste.  Seems EVERTHING  I create is time consuming. There isnt any such thing as "whip something out" as far as my work is concerned. Of course it would help if I werent so obsessive compulsive. LOL  Its hell being a perfectionist.
