The First Teaching Post

Okay, all you math fans...I put up my first teaching post.  If you're a teacher, you'll recognize the need for a good explanation.  So very, very, very (did I mention VERY?) many students get this wrong.  I'm open to suggestions on improving my style for this project, so please comment (praise or suggestions) here if you feel the urge.

Thanks for your blogging, but please stop using double spaces, it makes text much harder to read. Thanks.

hey. welcome back.
speaking of layout complaints,
the type in the _spectrometer_
is way too small and doesn't size.
anyhow, no doggone math.

_eloquently_ is another story.
never mind that other guy,
i'd like to know how you
lay out the displays ...
i know *i* can't do it ...

yes, i'm having trouble getting the default fonts right.

by 'laying out the displays', i assume you mean the equations. i cheat. i format them with an equation editor in a word-processing program, then take screen snap-shot, convert it to a jpeg, and upload it to the blog as a picture. cumbersome, but i get the equations to look just how i want them.

"...then take screen snap-shot, convert it to a jpeg, and upload it to the blog as a picture."

this sounds like something
i might actually be able
to figure out how to do; thanks.
