Regarding Wordpress and maths/latex:
1. The usual way that people put latex (which really means maths) on their
wordpress blogs is via a plugin that converts the latex to an image. Some do
this on the host machine, some send it off to a public server for conversion
(but both cache the image locally). So your maths would be as accessible as
any image would be.
2. A while ago (and at least one version of wordpress ago), I converted
a wordpress installation so that it could serve MathML instead of images. It
wasn't terribly difficult, but it did require a couple of (small)
modifications that couldn't (as far as I know) be done via plugins. This
would require hosting the blog yourself and being okay with making changes to
the code. This would be the way I would do it.
3. A middle ground would be to put MathJaX on top of your blog. This is not
as good as the second method because the conversion of latex happens
client-side not server-side, but still is better than images.
