I would like to suggest moving LoGE to Instagram. I find it is much easier to use than a blog, and I think there is room for us. There are many great clothing resale accounts on Instagram, but it is important to me that LoGE remains a FREE volunteer supported site.
Please leave a comment or email me directly at spinningjennie47 at gmail if you have specific suggestions or comments (positive and negative are both welcome).
Moving forward, I would like to create an Instagram account (thegeneraleconomy) that a small group of volunteers can access for posting submitted listings. Each volunteer can sign up to post a limited number of listings per day, perhaps even only 2-3 times a week so as to keep time-commitments to a minimum.

I prefer the blog format =) mostly because it's aggregated to my RSS feeds and I prefer my Instagram to not be clogged with non-friends and fun stuff. But whatever works best for you guys!
Agree with Annette - I like to choose to come here to shop rather than have it come to me - also with Insta's new (non-linear) algorithm think it will be confusing to do time-based auctions...
i agree with Annette and Tamu Tamu, more and more i prefer to avoid instagram due to advertisements and the overwhelming amount of photos on there, not to mention the algorithm.
I agree as well, I love the pacing a blog allows - doesn't feel like a social media emergency to see posts!
Erica,
I have really appreciated this site over the years and would be disappointed to see it move over to instagram. I realize that I'm in the minority here, but I choose not to have a "smartphone" or participate in online social media like instagram. I think that LOGE as is, in the blog format, allows for a more egalitarian platform.
It seems unfortunate that those who look at their phones the most often, and respond the quickest would be the ones to snag the best deal. Just a perspective from an admitted technology curmudgeon.
Best,
e
