All the old ways of getting to this blog from links, bookmarks, typing in a long URL, etc. still work exactly the same. That will continue.
But, now, additionally, you can type in shroudblog.com. The URL will change to the long boring URL as soon as the page comes up. If you want to, you can type in www.shroudblog.com, but why bother.
This was done just to make it easier for some of us. You can also use shroudblog.com in an email and it will work as a link to this blog.
