the Brilliant Blog

Until not too long ago, mathematical articles were posted on the Brilliant Blog. Those articles have been moved to the Practice section of this site, which is definitely a good thing, as it keeps things organized. If I would click a link to a former blog post, I'm redirected to the concerned topic in the Practice section, which is how it should be. However, on several locations on this website (in the footer, here, and here), there is a link to the blog homepage (blog.brilliant.org), which redirects me to brilliant.org (which could lead to confusion). I would like to suggest to:

remove those links that do not link to the blog, as there isn't any, or
reopen your blog! There are many things to inform the community about (new features, cool problems, new techniques) which you currently do through the discussions section, while a blog might be a better fit, especially for the audience that does not have a Brilliant.org account just yet.

Easy Math Editor

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

Yes I think it is merged to Discussions on brilliant.

Thanks! We've removed the blog from some of the locations that you pointed out.

In the future, we think it will likely be more convenient for the community to access posts through our Practice and Discussion sections. For posts covering mathematical techniques, we organize the posts in the Practice section by category in addition to publishing them to Discussions. People without accounts can access these articles without signing up, and can also view the Discussions without signing up.
