Welcome to Thursday Doors! This is a weekly challenge for people who love doors and architecture to come together to admire and share their favorite door photos, drawings, or other images or stories from around the world. If you’d like to join us, simply create your own Thursday Doors post each (or any) week and then share a link to your post in the comments below, anytime between 12:01 am Thursday morning and Saturday noon (North American eastern time). If you like, you can add our badge to your post.
Everyone has their own approach to the number of doors they present for this challenge. Because I like to limit mine to sixteen (I’ve actually been trying to get to 12-14 for almost a year), I often have to set some doors aside. I always think, “Maybe I can group them in a theme post,” but that rarely happens. Today, I have a few that fit a theme, a few that don’t, and a couple that don’t have doors.
That’s OK, by the way, the not having a door thing. You do have to have a door (gate, entrance, dimensional portal, wormhole, ghost door, etc.) but you can include other photos and you can participate in other challenges. This wasn’t always the case, but we relaxed the rules during the pandemic.
While I’m talking about details of this challenge, let me mention one other. You may have noticed that the Sunday Recap format has changed. It now has a fourth column. In the form I asked interested parties to fill out, I included an optional entry for something you wanted to say about your blog. I downloaded that information, but the connection to the recap table being built each week wasn’t working. I (finally) fixed that last week.
So, if you filled out that field, your answer will be in the recap. If you forgot what you said, didn’t say anything or never filled out the form, you can fill out a new one from the Recap Page or from the Thursday Doors Menu at the top of this page. I will delete the old form. I can’t let you edit the old form because I’m using the free version of Wufoo. If you don’t remember what you put in the form, look at the recap the next time you have a post or shoot me an email noFacilities-at-gmail-dot-com (you know what to do with that).
Speaking of the recap, you should know that most doors posts receive more views from the recap than they do from this page. We typically have between 20 and 30 posts linked to this page, but we have had as many as 180 clicks on the recap page.
One last bit of information about the recap page: Including tag(s) with your links increases the likelihood of your post being reviewed from the recap page. Tags are easy, just tack them on the end of your URL (link) in the comment. Put a ‘#’ in front of each one (including the first one). No spaces. If you have tags that are multiple words, just run them together. I’ll separate them for you. Example:
URL – https://nofacilities.com/2023/03/16/newton-waltham-leftovers/
With Tags: – https://nofacilities.com/2023/03/16/newton-waltham-leftovers/#NewtonWalthamMassachusetts#Random#Brick# Churches Now, onto my doors for today and all the other participants’ doors.
Trust me, it will work.

All five of my current books are now available in audio book form thanks to Amazon KDP’s Virtual Voice process. The voice is AI generated, but I can honestly say, it’s pretty darn good. The audio books are reasonably priced (all below $7 US) and, if you already own the Kindle version and want to add an audio version, you can do that for $1.99. There is a five-minute sample on the book page for each book. If you’re interested, click on any of the Dreamer’s Alliance book links below the image or on the link below for my latest book.
