Recommendations
Here is my small list of recommended blogs and books about competitive programming. Some of these are in Polish only, but their quality is very good and I have heard that some contestants successfully use automatic translation on them. If you want a longer and more detailed resource list, take a look at Awesome Competitive Programming compiled by Jasmine Chen.
