Blog math

The story of including math formulae in web pages and blogs in particular is long and sad. The best I could do to solve the problem here is use some script that translates latex to mathml, which is a standard for math on the web. One catch with this approach is that firefox often needs new fonts to be installed for this to work well, and explorer may need a special plugin (I don't know the situation with other browsers).

If the formula

and the formula
$\displaystyle{Y=\sqrt{\frac{X^2+1}{2\cdot\frac1{1+\beta}}}}$
don't look kinda the same to you, your browser may need some assistance.

For firefox help try here, and for explorer this plugin should do the trick.
