Thanks for the tips, Ray. Looks like Blogspot allows MathJax in blogs
which they host; for the record, with Wordpress, you have to install a
plugin which isn't currently available for blogs they host, only self-
hosted blogs. MathJax definitely looks better than MathML, from what I
can tell.

As for plots, flot looks nice, but I haven't figured out whether one
can use it (or any other plotting package) in a Blogspot blog. As for
SVG, I gather that IE9 understands it but not any prior version.
Of course one can embed images but I'd rather steer away from that.

For code, looks like a simple <pre>...</pre> is enough, although I
wouldn't mind colorization. Haven't figured that out.
