LaTeX in emails and blog

I just installed the tool LatexIt for Thunderbird email client. Now its easy to write out equations directly into my email.

Next, I am wondering if this is possible to do in case of blogs as well.

Convergence

I keep coming across the terms pointwise and uniform convergence recently in papers. Since I don't remember ever learning about them in classes, I decided to do a little digging and figure them out.

Pointwise convergence depends upon the value of x for which the sequence of functions converges as n tends to infinity.

Uniform convergence is a stricter case when the convergence should happen irrespective of the value of x.

Update:
This lecture nails it, makes it quite simple:

Starting a git repo

Here are some steps to go through when starting a git repo.

1. Enter the directory which is going to be the repository
2. Create a .gitignore file - Some good rules #change this
3. git init
4. git add . #link to blog on add
5. git commit -m 'Initial commit'6. Now on the git hosting site (e.g. Bitbucket ) create the repo, I prefer lowercase names without spaces.7. git push -u origin master #link to blog on git push
Now to clone:git clone "paths-to-repo"
