If you are taking photographs for websites just leave the camera the right way up, ie the shutter button on the top unless you want to spend time cropping images or you are happy to have the website software crop them for you in which case it doesn't matter too much either way.
The thing is, most computer screens are now in widescreen format (yes there are a bunch of different resolutions but on average, people are buying pc's with screens that are the same aspect as tv screens, thats whats cheapest and best value for money in terms of inches per dollar), and the trend is towards full hd, so 1920 x 1080 px which means landscape proportioned photos are great, they scale well so that you end up with an image that is maybe 1000px to 1200px wide and a height or 100 to 300px.
It's really hard to make a combination of landscape and portrait photos look good in a web photo gallery, you either end up with a bunch of people with heads cropped off or you get irregular shaped thumbnails.
