It's a metaphorical "corner" of the website, like a "corner" of a room: an area away from the center, where secondary activities are carried out.

(It may help to understand that many US grade-school classrooms are laid out with different "activity stations" -- for insance, a computer corner, a science corner, an art corner, and so forth.)

In this case, the "corner" is the area the author has reserved for "fun"--for posts that are not central to the site's primary activities but are valued just because they're entertaining or interesting in themselves.

    As an aside, it can also refer to the corner of a boxing ring. Each contestant has their "corner" of the area that they return to between rounds. Saying "I'm in your corner" means you are on the same team, for example.
