These days WordPress is pretty good about keeping your customizations and stuff consistent across upgrades. And there's always wordpress.com if you don't want to self host. Wordpress.com even supports LaTeX
http://en.support.wordpress.com/latex/ I personally write most of blog posts in Markdown, save them to github and use a tiny little perl script to turn them into HTML for posting on my original blog. You can check out my repository for this work here: https://github.com/mrallen1/P5P-Weekly This works pretty nicely - then I have a form that looks reasonably nice as plain text and as HTML without doing any extra work. One thing that's nice about Markdown is that even if it isn't rendered it's a pretty clean reading experience. Mark ________________________________ From: Russell L.

My last blogging experience was with WordPress. I started with the first release, but as releases of updated versions and patches became more frequent, WordPress quickly became a very demanding "religion". In particular, I could not tolerate the inability of WordPress to automatically transfer customizations and configuration settings from one release to the next. Ode assumes that the blogger is going to use his normal text editor to produce plain text, then allow ode to utilize "markdown" to convert plain-text to HTML. However, ode allows the direct import of HTML. My intention is to write posts in LaTeX markup (which is how I write everything nowadays) and convert from LaTeX to HTML for the blog. Several years ago, I was using HeVeA to convert LaTeX to HTML, but with the advent of HTML5 and CSS, that may not be practical today. Recommendations? Warnings?
