-# Ertunç Özbay — Personal Website, Workshop & Technical Notebook
+# Ertunç Özbay — Embedded Systems & Hardware Engineering Studio (`ertuncozbay.dev`)
-Live website: **https://ertuncozbay.dev**
-Repository: **https://github.com/ertunc-ozbay/ertuncozbay.github.io** (Branch: `main`)
+This repository contains the static HTML5, CSS3, and vanilla JavaScript source code for **[https://ertuncozbay.dev](https://ertuncozbay.dev)**, self-hosted on a Debian 12 Google Cloud VM with **Caddy** (automatic Let's Encrypt TLS/HTTP3) and **Forgejo** (**[https://git.ertuncozbay.dev](https://git.ertuncozbay.dev)**).
-Welcome! This repository contains the source files for my personal website, engineering project showcase, blog, and lab notebook.
-
-The site is intentionally built with **plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript**—with no framework, no build step, no database, and no external backend—so it remains free, fast, and easy to understand and maintain as a beginner.
-
----
-
-## 1. What GitHub Pages Does (and How Changes Reach the Live Website)
-
-- **GitHub Pages** is a free static web hosting service provided by GitHub. It takes the HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and image files stored on the `main` branch of this repository and serves them directly to visitors at **https://ertuncozbay.dev**.
-- **How changes go live:** Whenever you edit a file on GitHub (or push a commit to the `main` branch), GitHub Pages automatically updates the live website within about **1 to 2 minutes**. You do not need to run any build command or deploy script.
-
----
-
-## 2. Which File Must NOT Be Changed (`CNAME`)
-
-- **`CNAME`** (located in the root folder `/CNAME`) contains a single line:
- ```text
- ertuncozbay.dev
- ```
-- **Do not delete, rename, or modify `CNAME`.** GitHub Pages uses this exact file to connect this repository to the custom domain `https://ertuncozbay.dev`.
-

-- **Where the Homepage is:** `index.html` in the main (root) folder.
-- **Where the About page is:** `about.html` in the main (root) folder.
-- **Where CSS is stored:** `assets/css/style.css`. Change colors, fonts, spacing, or card styles here, and every page updates automatically.

-## 4. How to Edit Project Cards & Create a New Project Detail Page
-
-### Editing existing project cards
-1. Open **`projects/index.html`**.
-2. Each project is inside an `...` block.
-3. You can update the status badge (`In progress`), description, confirmed component tags (`
`), **"What I am currently learning"**, or **"Next step"** text directly inside that card.
-4. If you also want the summary on the homepage to match, update the matching card in **`index.html`**.
-
-### Creating a new project detail page
-1. Go into the **`projects/`** folder.
-2. Copy one of the existing pages (for example, `projects/multi-functional-controller.html`) and rename the copy to your new project name using lowercase letters and hyphens (for example, `projects/new-circuit-test.html`).
-3. Open your new file and edit the ``, `<h1>` heading, overview paragraphs, and table rows.
-4. Open **`projects/index.html`**, copy one `<article class="card">...</article>` block, and change its link (`href="new-circuit-test.html"`) and text to point to your new page.
-
----
-
-## 5. How to Create a Blog Post (Step-by-Step)
-
-1. Go into the **`blog/`** folder and make a copy of **`blog/post-template.html`**.
-2. Rename your copied file using lowercase letters and hyphens, for example:
- `blog/midi-script-first-test.html`
-3. Open your new HTML file and edit:
- - `<title>` in the `<head>`
- - The badge, `<time>`, Category, and Reading time inside `<div class="card-meta">`
- - The article title inside `<h1>`
- - The summary inside `<p class="hero-lead">`
- - The tags inside `<ul class="tag-list">`
- - The main article sections (`<h2>` and `<p>`)
-4. Remove the amber "Template Notice" box once your real article is ready.
-5. Open **`blog/index.html`** and add a new `<article class="card" data-blog-category="build-logs">` block at the top of `<div class="card-grid-2">` linking to your new file (`href="midi-script-first-test.html"`).
-
----
-
-## 6. How to Update Navigation
-
-The top navigation bar (`Home`, `About`, `Projects`, `Blog`, `Lab`, `Contact`) sits inside `<header class="site-header">` near the top of each HTML file.
-
-- **Important relative path rule:**
- - In root files (`index.html`, `about.html`, `lab.html`, `contact.html`), links use direct paths like `href="about.html"` and `href="projects/index.html"`.
- - In subfolder files (`projects/*.html` and `blog/*.html`), links to the root folder start with `../` (meaning "go up one folder"), such as `href="../index.html"`, `href="../about.html"`, and `href="../assets/css/style.css"`.
-- The current page link has `aria-current="page"` so visitors and screen readers can see which page is active.
-
----
-
-## 7. Static Architecture & Future Phases
-
-- **Currently 100% Static (Phase 1):** This website does not use a backend server, database, user login system, or commenting service right now. Everything runs directly from static files on GitHub Pages.
-- **Postponed for Future Phases:** User accounts, blog/project comments, and a small personal community/forum are intentionally postponed until later phases so the foundation stays simple, reliable, and easy to maintain first.

When people build personal websites, it is easy to fall into the trap of trying to sound like a large company or a finished expert. I wanted the exact opposite. I am a student studying Electrical and Electronics Engineering, and what makes my journey exciting to me is what I am currently learning, testing, and figuring out.
