Starting in 2026, From Pyrgos will move to a dot-com address, and will no longer be updated here on Blogger. On January 1st of next year I will officially redirect all traffic from this address to the new one. The new site is already up, and you're welcome to go there now and enjoy the new layout, but it will take me a few months to get all the content transferred and updated.
Some brands will see new (shorter) reviews that have been rewritten to better reflect my current opinions. There will be tweaks to the existing site with possible new pages added, so if you're already there, bear in mind that things will likely change. The new domain was created out of a perhaps irrational fear of mine that one day Blogger will be no more. It occurred to me that Blogger is an outdated platform that gives serious Y2K vibes, and it's entirely possible that in the next five years or so Google will retire it. If that happens, I want to be securely relocated where I have total control.
There will be an update to this before Christmas, so stay tuned. Fear not, dear readers -- From Pyrgos will continue onward, here for the next 4 months, and there for the rest of its existence. Websites are curious things, with their own mortality (Old Spice Collectibles recently died) and I'm well aware of how attached people get to their good reads. My hope is to keep providing good reads for years to come. For now, content will continue to be published here. I expect to be done with the content transfer and site design by Thanksgiving, but that might be ambitious.
