It was a case of too many dependencies: among other things, I didn’t want to launch it until my main site was done (it’s not), I had to create a plugin to add special features (did that), I needed to customize the theme (did that), and want to create a little badge for theme designers to show their results, so they can help me promote it (haven’t done that).

I eventually realized I was never going to launch the blasted site if I refused to lower my standards a bit. I’m a big fan of the motto “Ready, fire, aim” but sometimes it’s easier said than done. I got the core stuff functioning, but decided to launch without finishing my main site and without the badges.

I need this site to start making me money, and then I’ll be able to justify the time needed to add the other features. Of course, I still need to get my main site perfected functional, but that shouldn’t delay the money-making part of this site.

So today, my “must do” tasks revolve around finishing this site launch. I have already made some progress by inviting some friends to mention the site, but I’m also going to:

I’m also going to do the rest of my 19-item to-do list!
