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.
