  I am trying to write simple formulas on my blog, but i simply read what I write in the editor, i don´t even get the yellow alert message.
  this is the formula $latex v=tfrac{1}{2}cdot a cdot t^2$ (which parses in any other Latex parser)
  and this is the page http://vitomakes.wordpress.com/2013/11/08/salvaged-mechanics/
  I have even tried the examples of http://en.support.wordpress.com/latex/, they also don´t work.
  Thanks a lot to whom wants to help

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Try entering the formula when in “text” mode. On top right of the text editor there is a text tab. I suspect your formula is affected by pretty formatting of the HTML editor.

  I just tried with one of the examples and it only worked after I pasted the formula while in “text” mode.

  Yes, looks like it works in “text” mode, alright.

  Right!
  Thanks a lot. The wysiwyg editor was adding extra tags to the text, which probably confused the parser.

  Thanks again!
