Hi, I am using the Proudly Pink layout for my blog and I am having difficulty adding a photo to the frame in the header because it is rotated. The tutorial is helpful but I am stuck at the point where I have rotated the picture and it disappears when I layer it to place in the header space. I would really appreciate your help.
