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---------
