It started just a few years ago when <i>Isabel&#8217;s math blog<\/i> was one of the few (though sadly it has now vanished) to today when we there are thousands out there. Whether it is undergraduates blogging like <a href=\"http:\/\/mymaths.blogspot.com\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Me Or My Maths<\/a>, postgrads like <a href=\"http:\/\/gooseania.blogspot.com\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gooseania<\/a> or professor (in the British sense so higher status than a lecturer) at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.maths.manchester.ac.uk\/~avb\/micromathematics\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mathematics under the Microscope<\/a>, all at Manchester University.<\/p>\n<p>There are blogs like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.neverendingbooks.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NeverEndingBooks<\/a> which covers advanced topics like Noncommutative Geometry as well as being in the forefront of technical innovations (he is currently converting to using MathML and has a command line version which is fascinating). Then there are large collections of maths related blogs such as those at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artofproblemsolving.com\/Community\/AoPS_Y_Blog.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Art of Problem Solving<\/a> and the huge number of blogs by Warwick University students and staff at <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.warwick.ac.uk\/groups\/ma-all\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Warwick Blogs<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Many such blogs deal with the writer&#8217;s experiences but if it is mathematics you are after then a good place to start is at <a href=\"http:\/\/abstractnonsense.wordpress.com\/2007\/02\/09\/carnival-of-mathematics-inaugural-edition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Carnival of Mathematics: Inaugural Edition<\/a>. This has links to mathematics blogs at all levels, such as mathematics quotes, mathematical objects like Klein bottles that you can buy, a hotly debated probability paradox (well worth reading for an insight into the intricacies of this subject) all the way up to group cohomology. Do visit <a href=\"http:\/\/abstractnonsense.wordpress.com\/2007\/02\/09\/carnival-of-mathematics-inaugural-edition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Carnival of Mathematics: Inaugural Edition<\/a> &#8211; you may never have time to read anything else once you&#8217;ve explored the links and the links to the links &#8230; \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>One final thing &#8211; the vast majority of mathematics blogs I have come across use WordPress or Google&#8217;s Blogger. I expect this is true of most blogs in all subjects, though WordPress is particularly suitable for mathematics because of the <a href=\"http:\/\/sixthform.info\/steve\/wordpress\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LatexRender plugin<\/a> allowing maths notation.
