+  excerpt: A small update post about some website changes
+---
+
+Hello! Its been a bit since the last post made it out of the drafts (I promise, there are many in the works). I figure a little public update is needed to talk about some backend changes that have recently been made to this site.
+
+Firstly, there is a new domain name! I should have done this a while ago, but now I actually own the domain for my username. Welcome to `ewpratten.com`. The past two domains used for this site (`retrylife.ca` and `va3zza.com`) still happily redirect here, so no need to worry about updating your bookmarks and hyperlinks yet.
+
+Secondly, this site is now anycasted and edge cached. Hopefully this change will make the browsing experience a little faster for viewers outside of North America. [HTTP/3](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP/3) is now supported too. In the future, I might even set up some older protocols (Gopher, FTP, ..telnet..?) for fun. Info on that will come in a later post.
+
+Anyways, thanks for reading. I'm always amazed to see my analytics data. A surprising number of people read these posts :smile:
