I moved this site from **keremerkan.net** to **keremerkan.dev**. All old links redirect automatically: bookmarks, search results, and shared URLs will keep working.

## Why the Change

I've had **keremerkan.net** since 2006 and it served me well for twenty years. But .dev is a better fit for a developer site and I already use **keremerkan.dev** as my **Bluesky** handle. Consolidating everything under one domain was overdue.

## What Changed

Not much, technically. The server is the same, the database is the same. The migration was a `wp search-replace` across all tables to swap the domain, a few theme file updates for hardcoded URLs, and a 301 redirect rule on the old domain. WordPress and WP-CLI make this straightforward.

The .net domain stays active with permanent redirects, so nothing breaks. Search engines will reindex over time.
