An Announcement

 

Hi everyone!

I have decided, after a few years, that I am going to condense all of my posts back down to one blog -- just The Market Report. That's not to say we won't still be seeing grocery history and independent supermarkets! It's just that it'll no longer be on separate blogs. When I started the other two blogs a few years ago, I thought it would be a good way to keep things organized and keep similar posts and stores together, but I think it's ultimately more work than it's worth, both for me and for all of you who are reading the blogs.

But the great news is that I'm in the process of consolidating all the posts I've already made on the other two blogs into The Market Report, so they should all show up in this feed! That way, you can just check at marketreportblog.com for all the posts. If Blogger works right, that should even include all of the comments from the old posts transferring over to this blog, and the posts appearing on the right dates.

For now, I'm going to keep the other two blogs up and running as archives, because this transition process will be just that, a process. It'll be a bit of trial and error to get it all working right, but here's hoping it'll be better and easier to read (and write!) by the end.

Some highlights:

• I loaded the Grocery Archaeology posts onto The Market Report yesterday. You can see them all here, or with the "GA" tag.
• I will be loading The Independent Edition posts shortly. When they're on, they'll be here or with the "IE" tag.
• I haven't gone back to fix links and such, so the old blogs aren't going anywhere. Just be aware that links from 2020-2023 might link to the archive blogs rather than the posts here on The Market Report.
• In about a month or so, any remaining kinks should be worked out with blog structure and new posts.

Thanks, as always, for reading, and I'm really excited to share all the great new things I'm working on!
