content: rename articles to reinforce convention of short URLs
The Go blog started out on Blogger (http://web.archive.org/web/20100325005843/http://blog.golang.org/). Later, we moved to the current self-hosted blog server with extra Go-specific functionality like playground snippets. The old Blogger posts have very long URLs that Blogger chose for us, such as "go-programming-language-turns-two" or "two-go-talks-lexical-scanning-in-go-and", predating the convention of giving posts shorter, more share-friendly, typeable names. The conversion of the old Blogger posts also predated the convention of putting supporting files in a subdirectory. The result is that although we've established new conventions, you wouldn't know by listing the directory - the old Blogger content presents a conflicting picture. This commit renames the posts with very long names to have shorter, more share-friendly names, and it moves all supporting files to subdirectories. It also adds a README documenting the conventions. For example, blog.golang.org/go-programming-language-turns-two is now blog.golang.org/2years, matching our more recent birthday post URLs, and its supporting files are moved to the new 2years/ directory. The old URLs redirect to the new ones.

+# Learn Go from your browser
+4 Oct 2011
+Tags: playground, tour
+Summary: Announcing the Go tour, https://tour.golang.org/.
+OldURL: /learn-go-from-your-browser
+

+
+##
+
+We are excited to announce [A Tour of Go](https://tour.golang.org/),
+a guided tour of the Go programming language you can run from your browser.
+
+The tour is hands-on, demonstrating the language through code samples that you can modify,
+compile, and run from the tour itself.
+(The technology behind the [Go Playground](https://golang.org/doc/play/) does the work.)
+
+The tour has three sections. The first section covers basic syntax and data structures;
+the second discusses methods and interfaces;
+and the third introduces Go's concurrency primitives.
+Each section concludes with a few exercises so you can practice what you've learned.
+
+So, what are you waiting for? [Get started now!](https://tour.golang.org/)
