At first I played around with using Exhibit. This was kind of fun and allowed my publications to be sorted in all kinds of ways and exported in lots of formats.However, this method seemed like overkill (might be more useful if I had hundreds of publications....maybe one day but not today), and required that I update a .bib file every time I had to add a publication.
Then I noticed that my Mendeley profile has a nicely formatted page of my publications. Unfortunately, Mendeley doesn't yet provide html code to embed this on your own page, there is a slight workaround.
- In your Mendeley software client create a new collection and name it "Publications" (you can rename this later if need be).
- Add your publications to this new collection. Note!! The publications need to be added from oldest to newest one at a time. This is because Mendeley orders the publications by the date they were added to the collection (and not by pub. date).
- Right-click->Edit Settings, then under "Collection Access" choose "Public - visible to everyone". Then click "Apply and Sync".
- Go to the settings again for the collection and follow the web link to the collection online.
- In the upper right click on "Embed on other websites". You can customize the size and the color if you want. Then copy the html code to your website, blog, etc.
- That's it! When you have a publication to add just add it to your new "publications" collection, sync, and now your personal page is updated as well.
Publications is a group in Biological Sciences on Mendeley.
For my personal website I changed the color and made it a bit larger so it looks like this.

Hello,
I can't see the 'Embed on other websites' option? And there is no way to go from the client to the website. Are these instructions valid on current ver of mendeley?
You can get the "embed" code by going to the Group's overveiew page (on the Website) and clicking "SHARE" in the top right corner. Currently, the "Embed" function in the desktop application doesn't work.
b.t.w. Morgan's comment about adding the refs one-at-a-time from oldest to newest is really really important. There's no way around this (I tried all sorts of things :-) )
An much easier solution is using Epistemio. After you sign up to this free online service, it searches your publications and you just have to click to confirm adding them to your list. With just a few extra clicks, you may then generate an embedding code for your list of publications (and any other list of references), with your desired formatting and ordering. No need to order the publications from oldest to newest one at a time, as on Mendeley. The lists can then be embedded on websites.
