To add mathematical mark-up to blogs at blogs.cofc.edu, as illustrated in the post below, one must activate the plug-in “Jetpack by WordPress.com”. To do that, the steps are roughly:
- Login at https://blogs.cofc.edu
- Go to the Dashboard
- At left, select plug-ins
- Find JetPack by WordPress.com and select “Activate”. (Settings are not needed for the latex part: Jetpack does lots of things!)
- Go to the bottom of the plug-ins page and click button “Apply”.
- You will be asked to cite a wordpress.com account: if you do not already have one, create one when asked. This account is free (and wordpress.com a nice place for a personal blog), and you will need to confirm that account creation by responding to an email message.
- Here I get fuzzy … I think some confirmation is asked for.
To learn about using this feature, see the item LaTeX at http://jetpack.me/ or the more detailed introduction at http://en.support.wordpress.com/latex/
