I have uploaded a few pics of my baby to illustrate a couple posts, however, many of them have uploaded sideways. Is there a way to edit the orientation without reuploading them?

I've found that happens quite a bit. I think it has to do with the coding embedded in the image by your phone camera and how it's processed by the code on the site. I don't know of a way to adjust it after the fact. I've read that the orientation you hold your phone when you take the photo has something to do with it. It's not a huge deal really. It not too tough for us to view the images even if they're turned around.

Yeah. It's a combination of certain phones/cameras embedding the "orientation info" in different ways, and that the code I wrote for handling/processing the uploads doesn't take into account the way that they are doing it. I have not had a chance to sit down and rework that code (I really need to get to that).

One workaround is to take the image in your phone (it's usually phone pics that do this), edit it within the phone, rotate it sideways (doesn't matter which way), save that, then edit it again, rotate again until straight, then save again. What I've found is that when edited and re-saving the orientation, it does it in the way that the code on the website expects. I don't know why the original picture doesn't.

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
