(My lunch today, the macaroni are the character from Toy Story, isn't it cute?)So, this is especially irritating for me in the past one hour: I was trying to upload a picture of the macaroni I made today to my blogger for this post, and the layout of the photo just did not go with it. It is supposed to be landscape horizontal, but the photo posted in the blog was portrait vertical, no matter how did I rotated the original one. Since I do need this photo to be lying there instead of sitting up, the process was not good. Luckily that I eventually solved it, without reaching out for anyone. At one point, I was furious and wanted to call Tan and shout at him, LOL, that's what I do when I am in a mess and he can't help me out, because I know he is not familiar with blogger nor photos.
Here is what I have done to save my temper about blogger: firstly, I tried all the directions to rotate the image, and re-upload it, didn't work; then, I realised that all the images uploaded in Blogger will be automatically saved in Picasa, (sorry, but no one tells me about this, this is ridiculous!). Ok, I accept the fact that they are all from Google, whatever, Go Google, Yeah! (still hypocritically consider this is nothing more than stupid). So secondly, I was wonder whether I can edit my photo there via Picasa, and I signed up for a Picasa account.
All my uploaded images were there, including those I upload for test or by mistake, and there were 7 the same vertical pictures of my poor macaroni, who was so in need to be horizontal. I tried to rotated them under Picasa, but the button for rotate and edit were grey, which means unavailable. So I deleted half of the pictures there, and closed the page.
Thirdly, I run for google search engine, and I googled "blogger photo vertical horizontal", there popped up quite a lot results, about the shit about this consequence. And I found one reliable help forum discussing that photos from Canon have this problem, and one way is keep on rotating your image, re-save it and re-upload it, at some magic point, the image will be correct. Another way is to change the name of the photo, from JPG to GIF. Here is the link of the beautiful forum: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/blogger/thread?tid=68832f2bf271e38a&hl=en
I tried to change the name of my file, and I found no way to do it. As you may conclude from my talk, that I am a completely computer idiot. And Yes, You are completely 100% right! At last, I reopened my photo by Windows Photo Viewer, as I usually use Microsoft Office Picture Manager. I re-saved the picture there, changed its title, and BANG, re-uploaded it, and BANG, I got it!
So relieved......
I was going to talk about my happy girl mood after making macaroni, which are character from Toy Story, there are piggy, bear, Buzz, and Woody! and I often add broccoli and wieners to it. I am a cheese person. But after all this, I don't know, I sense a little bit of achievement yet I am more than willing to shut this page now.
