Math Plugin for Wordpress :)
After doing registration stuff (yes I’m still enrolling this summer and I have to say I’m excited to be a student again – I’ll be taking engineering entrepreneurship), I approved some comments on my blog and I decided to give the math plugin that Philip suggested (see Comments) a go 
I thought it would be useful since I plan to blog more about my thesis and stuff related to it
And as usual, I went through the same sysad nightmares. But boy am I proud of myself (hehe yabang!) cos check my previous entry (yes, hello math plugin!) Well, just for future reference ( I actually checked my previous blog entry on setting up this blog to get through) I will list down here the things I did to setup this math plugin 
1. I downloaded the files from this link. It’s a zip file so I still had to unzip it. (And I used windows to do that – hehe cheat!)
2. I remember that I had to copy this folder to some folder in the wordpress directory but I wasn’t sure which folder. And then I thought there must be some plugins directory somewhere. And I thought right! I had to check my previous blog entry to know where exactly in the server (I’m using Philip’s server) is the wordpress folder. Based on my blog entry it was in /var/dae. But I guess Philip moved things a bit and my wordpress folder landed in /var/sites/dae. It took me minutes to find that So I had to copy the entire wpmathpub folder in the plugins (under wp-content) directory. (At first I only copied the files in wpmathpub to plugins and it didn’t work – I tried checking the wpmathpub.php file and I kinda figured that I need to copy all the files with the main folder and not just the files…)
3. And I thought, its sorted… but no. I tried using the sample code provided in this website but nothing was happening. Apparently, I had to activate the new plugin (its in the Plugins section – upper right side). Now, its activated, it should be working already, right?
4. Well, wrong again. I was getting an error message saying that there was no permission for writing on a certain directory. I think what the code does is it converts the given equations into images and those images are stored in the img directory (in /wpmathpub/phpmathpublisher). And since its about permission, I checked my previous blog entry again and there was a thing on changing ownership of the files or directories. So I typed chown -R www-data:www-data /var/sites/dae. And I ran this command while I was in the plugins directory.
And after all these, the math plugin is already up and running I converted all the equations in the previous blog entry and I had help from this site that provides a list of useful/common instructions to write math equations.
