I have the one or other interesting Math blog in my feedreader that I follow. It would be interesting to compile a list of Math blogs that are interesting to read, and do not require research-level math skills.
I'll start with my entries:

Not always pure math, but I think John Baez' This Week in Mathematical Physics contains a lot of really interesting math reads. I should add Terry Tao's What's new. It's a very active math blog (both in posts and comments) and definitely covers some cutting edge math, even if it can be way over my head. |

Timothy Gowers' blog is excellent. Like Terence Tao, he is both a Fields medalist and an excellent writer. Together their blogs were my first real introduction into how professional mathematicians think, and their writing has taught me a lot, both about mathematics and about mathematical writing. If you are a serious student of mathematics you will find all the blogs you need by scrolling through their blogrolls. |

Here is an entire list of math blogs. |

I find Annoying Precision to be wonderfully readable, and has many many interesting topics. Additionally, Rigorous Trivialities is a bit higher level, but has a really useful intro to Algebraic Geometry. |

It isn't quite a blog, but Steven Strogatz's 15 part series for the New York Times was excellent. |

Math-blog is one I have in my google reader and I just found this one through google reader but it's a little over my head:The Unapologetic Mathematician |

He climbs Mount Bourbaki with the grace of a leaping gazelle. |

John D Cook writes The Endeavor One of the MathWorks blogs: Loren on the Art of Matlab ... a few more: (Check their blogrolls for more) |

Although it's still new, I hope that my blog is pretty interesting. It details some of my recent research, things I currently am looking into, and some recreational math along the way. (I also use it as a teaching supplement to my students, but I bet that won't be too interesting here). |

Not a pure math blog, but it's one of the most fascinating blogs in my RSS. |

Gödel’s Lost Letter and P=NP is a very well written and active blog (also, both in posts as in reactions). Especially for people with an interest in theoretical computer science. |

Some more that didn't appear in other answers: Additionally, I write isomorphismes which is more about the intersection of maths with humanities than maths per se. |

Wild about Math! and SatMathBlog (more for amateurs) |

Always enjoyed Shtetl-Optimized by Scott Aaronson. |

For those of you that can speak french, there is the wonderful http://images.math.cnrs.fr/. It is aimed at a wide public, but all articles are written by researchers and most are fascinating! |

Cedric Villani's news is relatively new and looks quite interesting (even when messed with by google translate). |

Math ∩ Programming. The name is pretty self-explanatory. |
