I am using a personal image for my about page and the image is showing on it's side. How can I flip the rotation?

If you're doing this in workspaces can you post a snapshot of your workspace?
We'd have a better chance of figuring out why your image was flipped.

Courses Plus Student 15,596 PointsMary, your code is incomplete and I'm afraid we cannot review it this way. The best way would be what Jason suggested, post a snapshot of your workspace.
You can do it by doing the following:
Give us the link that will be generated like you see in the picture.

While it's possible to rotate images using advanced CSS, why not just make sure the image file is correctly aligned before you use it? If you're using windows, you can use the image preview to turn the image until it is upright, and it will save it back to the image file for you. There's probably some equivalent function if you happen to be using some other system.

2,398 PointsHi Steven,
Fantastic idea! However, the image is rotated properly (i.e. portrait style) in its original form, so that is why I am confused as to why it was flipped and is now laying sideways.
Thanks for your help! Mary-ashley

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsI checked both your "mash.jpg" and "mashley.jpg" and the images themselves are both rotated.
I would use some kind of image editor to rotate them and I would also scale them down. They're both 2560x1440 and I think the about image in this project is scaled down to 150px. Nick's image is 512x512 for comparison.
The other thing is that you probably would want to crop the images square if you want your photo to be a circle like Nick's is. Otherwise, they'll be oval.

2,398 PointsI fixed it! Thank you all for your aid and input. I just added the css code "transform: rotate(279deg);" and the image has rotated properly.
Thank you!
