Short version (TL;DR): we are consolidating domains, adopting tink.ink as the primary brand domain, merging the blog into the main site, moving tutorials to devtuts.net, and adjusting scope for a global (English‑first) audience.
What’s Changing
- Main site:
tinkink.net→tink.ink - Blog: now lives at
tink.ink/blog(old standalone blog will redirect; legacy instance becomes a demo of thehexo-theme-terminaltheme) - Tutorial site:
tutorials.tinkink.net→devtuts.net - Tools:
tools.tinkink.net→tools.tink.ink(a future rename is possible)
Why We’re Doing This
- Shorter, clearer brand:
tink.inkis concise, memorable, and visually repeats the core brand term. - Market separation:
tink.inktargets global users;tinkink.nethistorically served mostly Chinese users. - Simpler content strategy: focus on English first; multilingual complexity removed from the main site.
- Cleaner navigation & SEO: fewer root domains → stronger authority and easier maintenance.
Redirects & SEO
- All major
tinkink.netpages now issue permanent (301) redirects to theirtink.inkequivalents. - Blog article slugs are unchanged to preserve backlinks.
- The old blog host becomes a theme demo; its canonical tags now point to
tink.ink/blog. - Search performance may fluctuate briefly while engines re‑crawl.
