Lately, I've been skimming a lot of math papers. There are some great breakthroughs in number theory, and I'm trying to get a feel for the significance of the results. In preparation to share some of the fun, I need to put some math in my blog. To typeset equations, there's a good way (LaTex), a bad way (MathML), and an ugly way (rendering images for each equation).
Mercifully, there is a way to embed LaTex directly into HTML for a blog. I used this great tutorial which handles the setup for many different blog platforms. You do need access to raw HTML to include a JavaScript handler. Just look up your platform (i.e. Weebly, Wordpress, Blogger, Tumblr, etc...) and go.

Math between dollars is inline: $\sum_{k=1}^n k = \frac{n(n+1)}{2}$
Math between slash-square-brackets is display:
\[ \sum_{k=1}^n k = \frac{n(n+1)}{2} \]
So pretty. So easy!
