As far as I understand it only IE supports them without a plugin. The other issue is worrying about RSS readers. For my solution, I have a modified form of <tt>publish</tt> which basically inlines the styles after publishing so I can just copy and paste the generated html in my blog. You can see an example of that above. I've also experimented with <a href="http://ws.apache.org/xmlrpc/" rel="nofollow">apache's xml-rpc</a> using MATLAB's Java interface to upload a published M-file directly to a WordPress blog. That might make an interesting blog post. Thanks for taking me up on the challenge, I was impressed with your post! Ted,

I’ve also experimented with apache’s xml-rpc using MATLAB’s Java interface to upload a published M-file directly to a WordPress blog. That might make an interesting blog post.

The two blogging sites I've tried allow you to paste in HTML, but one changes the text (nix that one). In both cases I have to manually upload images and massage the HTML. What I've done before is post a published MATLAB tutorial on my personal website. I lose some interactivity that's nice with blogs, but I don't have to mess with the MATLAB report at all. Microsoft has a single web page format (.MHT). I wonder if this could be a possible workaround? Publish in MHT, copy and paste into the HTML field on the blogs. Do you think that has merit?

It's great to see people using MATLAB publishing for their own blogs. Let us know what the stumbling blocks were in your usage so that we can improve the workflow. -Ken Fantastic!

My very first attempt (http://protomat.wordpress.com/) was in response to your Olympic fever. Even though I the blog portion for me wasn't very successful, thanks much for the idea!
