This makes me sad, but at the same time may benefit me. The owner of the lot behind me (a parking lot for the apartments to my northeast side) had some trees cut down yesterday. Since that is to the east of me, my eastern solar array should see a bit of a production hike. Probably not much during the winter, but spring and summer will most likely benefit.
Although I'm not sure that the owner of the property will be happy about the ruts they left from the bucket truck that they had to pull out with a tractor (it's been warm enough the last few days that the frozen upper layer has thawed).
As one who has been responsible for the downing of many trees during the past couple of decades, I understand how losing those trees is a mixed blessing for you. It is always good to have a buffer between one's home and a parking lot - especially of lovely trees. But...the bright side is that it will become a brighter side for your home. (Sorry...that sounded better in my head ; )

It would be nice if Typepad would come up with a fix for the mixed orientations of iPhone (& other?) photos that are posted. Trees on their sides are disorienting ; )

I should make clear that I am addressing the orientation of photos that are enbiggened!

To be fair on the pictures, I turn the ones that need in my computer program as I am downsizing them so they appear in the correct orientation in the post (which granted, I shouldn't have to do). Much easier and more efficient than doing it within Typepad.
The fact that Typepad cannot automatically adjust orientation (as can every other forum/social media site I frequent), is irksome, but that irritation is overshadowed by other issues that have cropped up over the last 6 months or so, which still involve pictures.
Pictures don't upload the first (or second) time for various reasons - and after every error having to save the draft before I can hope to try again: timeouts in 0.005 seconds, "incorrect format" errors - does not recognize a jpg on random pictures, other misc errors. Even without errors, Usually I can only upload one at a time and then have to save the draft before uploading another.

I thought that I was the only one plagued by the issues in your last paragraph. I love the "appears not to be a valid format" message - NOT.
