The setter’s blog has become something of a feature on a number of solving blogs (which sounds a bit contradictory, I know). A setter writes a few words about how a puzzle was put together, where the idea came from, and so on. I’ve done a few myself (here’s one) and, now that I have some webpages to play with, I also have a place to put new ones, namely here. I’ll wait for solution dates to pass, of course, but shortly thereafter I’ll put up a few comments on the puzzle. In most cases, I won’t be able to supply you with the puzzle itself, due to copyright law.
Update December 2021: to keep the length of the more active list manageable I have transferred a large number of the blogs to an archive page. Please use the search function (title or puzzle number should work) to find a specific blog. If it happens to be a blog for a puzzle that has also appeared on the site you will get puzzle, solution and blog as hits.
