Optional: although you hold the copyright to your work and enjoy the protections it affords as soon as your work is in a fixed medium (your website), adding a copyright statement to your site can serve as a reminder that others must obtain your permission before using any portion of your work.

If you upload a photo and the orientation of the photo on your site is incorrect, my suggestion (until we can find a better answer) is to replace the photo, upload it again, and while you're still in upload mode, crop the photo just a small amount and see if the orientation is correct when you add it to your site.
