srinivasan: it changes only when I upload. It looks fine on the system

Try copying this image:

http://picasaweb.google.com/t.manki/Tmp/photo?authkey=k0TkMZzobic#5073957326077930866

(you will find "Download Photo" link on the right hand side.)

If you care about why it's showing in this way:
After the photo image has been captured, the camera writes inside the JPG image file that it should be rotated counterclockwise before it is displayed. Image viewer in your computer understands it displays correctly. Browsers don't seem to understand it. (Or some software which is between your computer and Blogspot page doesn't understand this and deletes that information.)

hey sheetal, I was editing the file to make it come on this post, instead of a new one. I dont know where your comment got published.

Garage band offers a fantastic, easy and quick way to make podcasts. But the only problem is not many people use the Mac. They have to be happy with what's available in Windows like Audacity. I am thrilled to see such an event happening there and I miss it.
