Every now and then I get motivated to update my math web site in a major way. In 2003, I moved it over to PostNuke. In 2004, I added a phpBB bulletin board. This year I undertook the challenge of providing users the ability to use LaTeX to post math equations in the forum. I thought this would be extradorinarily difficult, but fortunately I was wrong. With the help of mimeTeX and LatexRender, I was able to make the necessary modifications to my forum in a matter of hours. And if I hadn't been such a dumb-ass, it would've been a matter of minutes. I spent almost all of my time trying to figure out why mimeTeX wouldn't work, when in the wee morning hours I realized I had installed the windows version on my unix web server. Yeah, um......that doesn't work.
