I think Glowing Face Man has long been due for a renaming; when I started the blog years ago, I had no idea how many articles I’d end up writing here, or how popular the blog would be. The new domain name is shorter, easier to remember, and a lot less likely to get mistaken for some kind of male cosmetics site! 
There’s a lot of work I still have to do to complete the move. It’s not just a domain name change, but a whole brand change. Hundreds of articles mention the old name and will need to be updated. Half a dozen projects have the GFM brand hardcoded into them and will need to be updated. Fortunately, the old address hasn’t gone anywhere, and all queries to glowingfaceman.com will continue to go through, most being redirected to www.xamuel.com.
Since I’m already moving every page on the site, I figured there might never be such a great opportunity to do some other URL restructuring. Articles will no longer have “/blog/” in their address, and will instead be located right at the root. It looks so nice now, I love it 
Traces of the old domain name will probably linger for quite awhile… just like a lot of the older articles contain links in the old Blogspot format Eventually, sitings of the old domain name will become more and more rare, until they become priceless “internet collectors items” Meanwhile, xamuel.com will rise to unprecedented success, eclipsing Google and Facebook and Wikipedia! Errr, or so I hope!
