I'm starting a little blog about physics and math stuff. Wordpress.com looked like the obvious place to start, but I found that it's been pretty hard to get equations looking nice with LaTex (viz, you can't have equations on their own lines, the font size is off, etc).

Do any of you who have blogs know of a good solution to the LaTex problem? Is there a way to make LaTex work better on wordpress.com, or are there better alternatives? Thanks!

Which WP latex plugin are you using? There are a lot of them out there. Try each of them to see what options they have, and how they look. Maybe its just a matter of finding the right one for your needs.
