Here are some relatively lesser known blogs that I can recommend, apart from the usual suspects (worrydream, John Baez etc.)

https://jeremykun.com

http://colah.github.io

https://mathwithbaddrawings.com

https://www.allendowney.com/blog/

And yeah I finally decided to inject some character into my personal website and spent a couple of days wrangling with css and made this --- http://linkdot.link . Not much content really though and it is mostly probability puzzles that I solve every now and then.

Edit: Formatting

Hey, just went on your site with firefox and the content was outside the screen. After digging into it a bit I found that you use "transform: scale(1.3)" on the body. It seems like firefox is positioning the element with its original dimensions and then scales the element. "transform-origin: 0 0" fixed it for me.

Thanks a ton for letting me know about it and sharing the fix as well. Fixed it now. Will spend sometime soon and sort the other Firefox issues that I discovered as well.

Cheers!
