To me some kind of "mission statement" would be good, so I know what's the purpose of the blog.
The homepage starts: "The site is divided into a multitude of collections and tags, accessible from the left navbar and from within posts ..." which tells me nothing about how the blog is useful to me.
And the linked article starts: "Several terms need to be clarified mathematically to appreciate the large sets of ..." which also doesn't tell me "what is this about? why is this good for me to read?"
I suggest: Try to put yourself in the mind of the reader. The first thing s/he wants to know, is (I think): What is this blog / article about? What do I gain by reading it, how is it good for me? — If those questions aren't answered quickly, s/he will leave. (I think.)
