That's just one post for the project. (Why can't people organize their blogs so readers can find prior posts on the same topic? Pet peeve of mine.)

Anyway . . .

I think this is all the posts so far, starting with the original post explaining where he got the playset and his intent:
Stones 10/23: link
Hinges and Stones 10/24: link
DR Doom Castle 11/8: link

(No I don't know why he spells it "DR Doom" instead of the correct abbreviation "Dr. Doom".)

Hello CeruLucifus. When I was in the US Army Reserve I got into the habit of writing peoples rank with all caps, and no period, and I still carry that over. SGT Doom. DR Doom.

I post every day on my blog and projects are updated as the work is done. The DR Doom castle project is still in progress and may be done in a few days or months from now. As I work on it, I update it.

My hope is people will read every day and so keep up with my projects that way. Blogger does have a terrible search function.

Of course, you may always post your comments on my blog and I will happily answer them there as well.

Thanks Tango for the link.

On a minor point of order, I think Marvel always writes the name out as Doctor Doom, without ever abbreviating it, so the spelling argument is moot.

Parzival, I'm sure I've seen it written in comics with the abbreviation, but I agree with you that must also be an error and the correct spelling is the full word.

Bunkermeister, thank you for taking the time to reply. I've been reading military and non-military writings for many years and have not commonly seen capitalized ranks, though I don't doubt your word that it is a military writing convention. However isn't Doctor a title not a rank?

(Humorous aside about how abbreviations become ingrained. Working in information technology, I am used to reading "DR" as an abbreviation for "Disaster Recovery". So with no comic book villain figure in Tango's post I read the topic as "Disaster Recovery Doom Castle", taking it as ironic superlative exclamatory social commentary.)

I can't speak for other people but it's too difficult for me to follow a whole bunch of personal web sites every day, and frankly not that rewarding since most don't update that often. (Kudos to you as an exception.) I stop in every so often on a whim or because of a link on a site like this, and enjoy the accumulated posts. I suspect no matter what the developers of Blogger seem to think, that a significant many many people consume web sites this way.

Thanks all of your for your interesting replies.
I post as I do the work, rather than collect a lot of information and then post it all at once. I work on a lot of different projects at the same time, so I do jump around a bit.
