[Blindmath] Putting SVGDraw images, vOICe audio, and LaTeX content in Wordpress: Am I asking the impossible?

[Sarah Jevnikar]

Hi Andrew and all,
Thank you so much for all your posts on this. Though I think it'd be
beneficial for me to post notes online, I'll wait until I can dedicate the
time and mental faculties. I'll save these messages though for future
reading so when I do take the plunge, I'll be informed.
If you'd like to visit my blog as it is right now (very new), you can do so

Thanks for all your help.
Sarah

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.
