    Nice video. One idea for a next post would be to talk about the nanmean, nanstd, and all the other statistics functions that can deal with NaN.

    I just saw the last post by Loren and she is talking about calculations with NaN…

Wrap code fragments inside <pre> tags, like this:

<pre class="code">
a = magic(3);
sum(a)
</pre>

If you have a "<" character in your code, either follow it with a space or replace it with "&lt;" (including the semicolon).
