[Admin] New URL, new name

Because it's a better name, I've renamed the site to Games We Have Known And Loved. I've changed the URL to http://gameswehaveknownandloved.tumblr.com/. After triggering Tumblr's security system twice, Javascript has prevailed and the old URLs should take you to the new site. Thank you all for listening to these stories about games each week. -G
