With this error it wasn’t possible for me to choose the preset image size “medium”, which I configured to the width of one column. Here is what I’m talking about:

The Solution:
Just open your .htaccess file that is in the same folder as your wp-content folder:

and add “AddType x-mapp-php5 .php” to the top, as so:

Once you save that, you should be able to upload pictures without the error and regain wordpress’s resizing feature.

I got this little snippet from errors when installing either joomla or drupal, so when this http error came up, I figured it couldn’t hurt if I add it to .htaccess for wordpress and it worked! Hopefully this helps since online I didn’t see anyone else recommending this fix.

The following is a short outline of this form (.pdf), which I had a terrible time finding, but is your key to success:

1) Go to http://www.njoemscert.com and create an account

2) They will tell you to download a reciprocity application, which will be your version of this (.png), fill out the top half, and then mail it to the state in which you are an EMT-B and they will quickly fill out the bottom half.  Include a self addressed envelope.  When you receive said envelope back in the mail, keep it sealed and start a bundle of documents.

3) Add copies of you EMT card, NREMT card, and CPR card to the bundle and mail it to the NJ Department of Health.

4) Take the 24 hour Core 13 Refresher Course with a group of EMT’s who are approaching their 3 year mark. This includes refresher lectures, all the practicals, and a 50 question exam. ($120 from Capitol Health in Trenton)

4) After 15 days of successfully completing the Core 13 class, you are eligible to take the NJ exam.

5) Complete the exam, and all above, and you should be a NJ EMT!

I somehow took the Core 13, but didn’t see that I needed to get a letter from all the states (and national registry) in which I am an EMT.  Seeing that I became a Colorado EMT during this process, I think I’ll leave them out of it.  Unfortunately this means I’ll be dealing with NYS again, who took three months to verify with the national registry that I took and passed their EMT course including practical (talk about frustrating).

Just for reference: to become a Colorado EMT you just need to fill out one easy to find form and get finger printed at your local police station. Then write a check for $40 attach it to your fingerprints and mail to the CBI. Take your EMT form and mail it to their EMT office and in about a month you’ll be a CO EMT. They have their act together out there.

  I attended this years solar decathlon held in Washington, DC, and found it to be an awesome display of ingenuity and future potential. I also found a few areas of the competition that don’t exactly make sense.
  The purpose of the competition is to encourage students to design houses with the latest technology, however since it is partly funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, the competition focus’s on the latest solar technology and energy saving methods. This is great but the competition should be about building houses of the future with all the environment impacts taken into account, not just those revolving around energy. There is a well known non-profit based in Washington, DC by the name of the U.S. Green Building Council, that seems to have been left out of the competition. One would think that they would be heavily involved, encouraging these up and coming architects and engineers to design for sustainable futures through the implementation of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification process. It could easily implemented as part of the competition with points awarded for scoring the highest in the LEED rating system.

We’ll start with forty:

fifty (optimal):

01234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789

sixty:

seventy:

eighty:

And hopefully using all numbers doesn’t throw anything off.

A discouraging realization is the fact that the formatting is completely ruined if any of the side bar links are clicked on, which means that I’m going to have to create more div’s in other .php files to set them in line.

I also think that I’m going to remove the “Pages” link from the sidebar, but keep the about page as a link from the footer, after I change “contact” from a mailto: link to “about.”  This is due to feedback I received from Garrett Helm, who along with many others doesn’t like “mailto:” links since on windows computers they tend to launch outlook, which isn’t useful for those with browser based email clients.
