If you’re already familiar with LaTeX, you can try implementing LaTeX in your WordPress installation. Alternatively, you can use an external engine to create images for your mathematical formulas. More information on both these ideas here:

As far as I understand, WordPress always converts blank lines typed in the editor to the paragraph tag in the resulting XHTML (this conversion is hidden). BUT (as far as I understand and have noticed from personal experience): the paragraph tag might not result in blank lines, depending on the style sheet and XHTML.

Supposing you want the paragraph tags (created by blank lines in the editor) to create blank lines in the output, check for something like

.posts p {padding-bottom: 1em;}

in the style sheet, and something like

<div class="posts">
<?php the_content(); ?>
</div>

in the XHTML.

Not sure if this is the source of your problem, but it is a possibility.

I mentioned the ads because it wasn’t actually apparent to me that the site is “an attempt to make a buck.” Honestly, I think some people just put ads on their site because the capability is out there, not necessarily because they are interested in the cash. And, if that’s the case, I certainly feel the ads might as well not be there.

Admittedly, I do really really dislike web ads. But, the comment was not meant to be a criticism of people who use websites to generate money, and I’m sorry you took it that way. Indeed, my comment “what can you do” was an admission that for better or for worse, web ads are just a part of internet life.

Anyway, good luck with your endeavors. 🙂

It’s picky, but I’d like to see the post header links in the same color as the remaining links. I know a lot of the WP themes are like that on default, but I happen to think that it’s sloppy design.

I think the screencap links are a good idea, but I’m not sure if I like the shape of them. I think I’d prefer something of a more ‘regular’ shape (the current shape reminds me a bit of web ads, which is part of the reason why I don’t like it that much)… But, I’d have to see it to be sure. :p

The inter-post graphics are fine, but I’m not sure if I understand the meaning of the icon, or the connection to the name or theme of the site. Graphically, it doesn’t have a whole lot in common with the top divison graphic or the icon on top right.

As for those: I’m not sure if I understand the meaning of the top graphics. The top division, I guess is supposed to be sound waves? Which I guess ok, relates to video imagery. The icon on the top right, well, it’s not bad, but I can’t figure out what it is. Sorry.

Finally, I’ve never been a fan of advertising, but well, what can you do. :p
