MathJax for Blogger

For basic MathJax support in Blogger, all you have to do is edit the HTML of your template and put the following before </head>:

<script type='text/x-mathjax-config'>
MathJax.Hub.Config({tex2jax: {inlineMath: [['$','$'], ['\\(','\\)']],
                     displayMath: [['\\[','\\]'], ['$$','$$']]}});
</script>
<script src='http://cdn.mathjax.org/mathjax/latest/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML' type='text/javascript'>
</script>

This is all you have to do if you aren't using Blogger's dynamic views. The principal issue with this method is that RSS readers do not render the LaTeX. This was the justification for the LaTeX for Blogger user script. But MathJax looks so much better on a retina screen!

It is possible to have the best of both worlds, and maybe one day I'll blog how...

Edit: Set your mobile template to "Custom" to pick up the MathJax on mobile.

Tips for Google: Blogger Configurable Ad Formats

Blogger rolled out dynamic views some time ago. They provide a really nice, modern interface.

But, as far as I can tell, dynamic views ignore ad format settings, being able to choose the type and size of the ads. I absolutely hate flash ads, and if I can't prevent them, I'll just remove ads altogether.

Tips for Google: Blogger Scheduled Sharing

Blogger supports sharing to Google+ from the list of posts. Blogger also supports this wonderful feature of scheduling posts. But you can't share a post until it is public.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could share scheduled posts, meaning that when they become public, they will also be automatically shared to Google+?
