You probably know this, but just in case ...

It's possible to use MathJax on HTML pages like this:

Inside the HEAD tag:

  <HEAD>
    <TITLE>Whatever your title might be</TITLE>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
    <script type="text/x-mathjax-config">
      MathJax.Hub.Config({tex2jax: {inlineMath: [['$','$']]}});
      </script>
    <script type="text/javascript" async
      src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mathjax/2.7.5/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS_SVG">
      </script>
      </HEAD>

Then inside the body you can put things like this:

  Find a value $v$ such that
  $$\lim_{x\rightarrow 0}\frac{1}{x}(v^x-1) = 1$$.

So if you can use plugins to insert this sort of thing, you're done.

HedgeDoc might be an option for you. It's not quite a blog, but instead, a platform for writing and publishing markdown pages on the internet. MathJax is supported: https://demo.hedgedoc.org/features#MathJax
