I’ve dropped personal blogging on my website in 2017 in favor of Medium.
So, in 2026, we’re back here! One catch is that, with the help of the AI, I’ve managed to pull a better UI/UX than I had over there. I’m planning to even refine the website’s design further along the way.
Why I’ve done this?
So, this year, one of my primary goal was to add more blogging articles, but limiting myself on content type(only programming with swift) was limiting my creativity. With here, I can create additional categories without worrying about the language(I’m planning some more Turkish contents) & additional topics without writing only on tech, programming, and include more topics to write.
While Medium’s audience is way more than what I had before writing any posts, it comes with some limitations. Those are mainly on UI customization, how SEO works & on how limitations of the A11y settings I had with Medium.
Here, everything I’ve put on top of the WordPress will aim simplicity, auto-dark-mode support, accessibility support while keeping the website simple.
What will NOT happen?
Let’s go over what will not happen with this new format.
- I will not translate any article into 2 languages. Some articles will be in English, some will be in Turkish. I don’t have time for doing those.
- I’m not planning on creating mail newsletter to continue what Medium auto-had. I may re-share topics on Medium which may send other emails, but no promise is given by me right now.
What will happen?
There are still To-Dos on how the website will be better.
- Enhanced Accessibility Support
- Better SEO support
- Better Comment Section(Maybe with Disqus)
I’m trying to not use many extensions for solutions since it affects the website load in WordPress, and going crazy on website optimization is something I (really) have no time for.
Let’s see how this will go.
