This may be a stupid question, but if I put a golden glyph on my purple weapon and then make my weapon golden, will the glyph increase or stay the same?

Or if I put a blue glyph on my purple weapon and make it golden will the glyph jump to golden?

    Glyphs for looted gear level up when you upgrade it.
    Crafted glyphs don't level up. If you put anything yourself on a weapon, it will keep the same value. If you upgrade a looted weapon to golden, the glyph already on it will be golden quality too.

    And for last question, no, if you enchant a weapon and improve it to Gold, the glyph will continue to be blue

    Gold glyph applied to purple weapon will be capped by the quality of weapon - so it will give as much stats as purple glyph would. That said, it's still a gold glyph, and if you'll upgrade the piece, it'll be 'uncapped' to the gold quality. If you'll enchant with purple glyph - it won't get upgraded and will remain purple. All dropped pieces - people mentioned earlier - are with equivalent of gold glyphs on them, so you can upgrade all the way to gold and original enchantment will be of gold quality as soon as it's not capped by item quality itself.

    Jewelry is the only exception, it does not cap the glyph quality, so you can apply a gold glyph and get full value of it even on white jewelry.
