What do you mean, you forgot?

The top five details people often seem to overlook until the last minute when building a web site:

  • Designing a favicon
  • Creating a robots.txt file (e.g. to exclude images)
  • Crafting an effective home page title and meta description
  • Repointing the domain name to new hosting in advance
  • Providing tracking code for things like Google Analytics

Any others?

If you want to use FeedBurner, use it on day one. Changing RSS URLs is not fun, and I think with FeedBurner you have to dish out extra cash to use your own domain for the URL.
