I purchased this domain name over a decade ago, and in that time, I’ve transitioned through numerous user interfaces and backend features. In the process, I’ve learned a great deal about the evolution of the Internet, from its basic underpinnings to the current state of pushing performance, security, and web design to their limits. For 2020, I’m more focused than ever on showcasing my content through a simple, responsive user interface. This WordPress-powered site – RK.MD – serves as the backbone for all of my social media, so keeping it updated with the times is of paramount importance to me.
Because I’m constantly referring to posts on this website, I wanted to make “search” as simple as possible. There are options in the main navigation bar as well as the sidebar. Furthermore, the sidebar primarily contains links to my social media, podcast, and email subscription. To keep things clean, I removed other features, such as polls, tags, and category lists. I removed an elaborate banner and replaced it with my logo. Furthermore, people have loved my pharmacology posts, so I created a row on the main page (below featured posts, above recent posts) dedicated to just that!
I also restyled the website using CSS media queries to automatically create a light or dark mode experience based on the user’s default operating system appearance. Watch the video below as I toggle between “light” and “dark” experiences on macOS.
I’m also planning on a monthly journal club where I’ll send out a recently published journal article (something that’s free) ahead of time and analyze it in depth.
Thank you all for your readership over the years! I’m always open to feedback, so if you have suggestions or encounter any glitches, feel free to send me a message.
