LaTeX in blogs

I’ve always wanted to be able to use LaTeX typesetting in my blogs to show mathematical equations whenever I came across something interesting, but none of the blog hosting services supports it.

So, when I recently came across a Public TeX server at the mimeTeX page, I was pleased to see that it fits the bill perfectly.

$e^{i\pi}+1=0$

$\nabla.\vec{E}=\frac{\rho}{\epsilon_0}$
$\nabla.\vec{B}=0$
$\nabla \times \vec{E}=-\frac{\partial \vec{B}}{\partial t}$
$\nabla \times \vec{B}=\frac{\vec{J}}{\epsilon_0 c^2}+\frac{1}{c^2} \frac{\partial \vec{E}}{\partial t}$

Poets say science takes away from the beauty of the stars - mere globs of gas atoms. I too can see the stars on a desert night, and feel them. But do I see less or more? The vastness of the heavens stretches my imagination - stuck on this carousel my little eye can catch one - million - year - old light. A vast pattern - of which I am a part... What is the pattern, or the meaning, or the why? It does not do harm to the mystery to know a little about it. For far more marvelous is the truth than any artists of the past imagined it. Why do the poets of the present not speak of it? What men are poets who can speak of Jupiter if he were a man, but if he is an immense spinning sphere of methane and ammonia must be silent? - Feynman
