Throwing spaghetti on the wall.

See if it sticks

What! You haven't heard of that one? When cooking spaghetti, one way to check to see if it's done is to throw a spaghetti noodle on the wall. If it's done, it will stick to the wall. Yeah, it's kind of messy, but it works. I learned this one from watching "The Big Chill', one of my favorite movies. All of that wonderful starchy goodness adheres very nicely to the wall when it's cooked to that just right point, a nice al-dente.

But I can't throw a website on the wall...

One of the things I've been pondering as I go through the lessons and reading the many posts is how will I be able to tell if my site is 'done' and ready to launch? There are those who will say that all sites are continuing works in progress. They are never truly done. There are always new posts, updates, changes.

For those of us who like to get things 'right', what ever that means, the thought of being done is a bit more daunting. I want to get this right. I want my site to be successful. I want it to monetize - ideally quickly. I don't want to get caught in the trap of wanting it to be perfect and continuing to tweek it so that it is 'just right' forever and never released. So how do I know it's ready to launch?

I'm not entirely sure...yet. I know it's not there. But I know that it will be in the near future. I look forward to that satisfying feeling to pull up the site, and like a beautiful plate of spaghetti enjoying the satisfaction of creating something that is bold and delicious.

May the spaghetti stick to all of our walls soon. Have a blessed day.
