The small things take the longest to finish. They also the most painstaking. Things like comment validation, finding links that have yet to be styled, content and blurb (Like the about page, RSS page that still have to be written), bugs, graphics etc. By the sounds of it, it only is 25% complete. But quite the contrary. Its more like 85%. Perseverance Jason, perseverance. [...]</p> [...] This article about the last 10% is exactly what I’m experienceing developing ShopIt.

Once I get into it and I’m going its exhilarating and I become intensely focused. Eventually the fatigue sets in. I start to talk myself into doing 4.5 miles instead of 5… cause 4.5 is pretty good, and who will ever know?

Most of the details omitted in the last 10% of my site redesign are ones that only I will ever know about. But I still remember every one of them.

Nice job on your site, great piece.

Yeah, I can see the same time frame for my site, though I have a good 30% left to go, so I guess that will be six months, then ;-)

The finer details can be fun, but time consuming!
