Sideways Picture Rotation on iPhone/iPad

I have searched the forums for help addressing the problem, and I have found information, but I can’t seem to figure it out. Maybe it’s my limited working knowledge that’s the real problem.

My blog is read by family and friends, and about half of them report that portrait-style pictures appear skewed and horizontal. On my laptop and desktop, as well as in the dashboard, my posts look exactly how I want them. The only people who comment on this use apple mobile devices (iPhone/iPad).

I realized today that the iPhone/iPad automatically corrects the pictures that I upload, so if I leave them alone, they appear perfectly on these devices! However, if I leave them alone without rotating them in my media library, all other devices (including my own) read it as a sideways picture.

I tried uploading a plugin for image rotation fixer, but activating it resulted in an error and, when it did not have an error, it didn’t work how I thought it would…which was not at all. Maybe I’m not using the plug-in correctly?

Some of the forums mentioned fixing the picture and then saving it outside of the site before uploading. When I open my portrait pictures in an editing program, they appear correctly, so rotating them doesn’t do anything except mess it up. Is there a specific program I could use that would correct it?

I hope this wasn’t too wordy, but I tried to be thorough. I’m currently working on fixing my most recent post on my site journeyzest.com. Obviously, it’s extremely messed up no matter what device you use to look at it! I’m tempted to use <i>only</i> horizontal pictures on the blog and just skip figuring this out!
