Thanks for the help. I just checked the variables and org2blog/wp-use-wp-latex was set, but the wp-latex plugin was not installed :) All is working now, although it is definitely a little grainy. But, it'll certainly lead to an awesome series of blog posts nonetheless. Puneeth, thank you so much for the fantastic plugin.
One other quick question: Does org-mode and org2blog work with numbered equations and equation references? If so, could someone provide a simple example?
