I think it should be possible to configure Wordpress to display posts from 
oldest to newest. It's just not conventional for blogs to be that way. You 
might also dedicate one post to each build, and edit that build to tack on 
updates. That's not so helpful for people who want to get updates via RSS for 
new activity, though. I took a quick look at my site's settings and didn't find 
a simple click option to reverse the sort order, but I'm sure it's still 
do-able.

Maybe Erik would consider adding a category on VCF for build logs? If not, 
there's nothing stopping you from posting a new thread in an appropriate 
category there. Though if the build happens to be off-topic for VCF, it might 
get more attention on a more closely-related forum than in the off-topic area 
on VCF.

For R2-D2 robot replica building, maybe there's some robotics or maker forum 
where it will get the most attention and participation? Or maybe you would 
consider giving the robot an LSI-11 for a brain so it can sneak into VCF? :)

Twitter also has its place for our activities, but it's best suited for 
immediate interaction around a very short "Hey, look at my cool thing!" posting 
which will quickly drop into obscurity. Twitter, mailing lists, Facebook (GACK! 
EVIL!), forums, blogs, etc. all have their own styles, plusses and minuses.
