In my previous life in the corporate world I was a Senior Business Systems Analyst for a Fortune 100 company - responsible for putting internal customers together with programmers and creating websites for our external customers to use.

A significant phase of every project involved testing the website - putting it through it's paces - attempting to "break it" - to ensure that by the time it was available to the end user, it was robust, accurate and did what is was supposed to do.

Knowing that this is a phase of any development, I was mentally geared up to tackle our "beta" blogsite in the same fashion.  Many of you were kind enough to take the time to review and comment on the site, and the collective brainpower of expert bloggers lasering in on our fledgling site was both mind-boggling and very much appreciated!

I'm now well entrenched in clicking and scrolling anything and everything, noting what needs attention, and firing emails back and forth to RSS Pieces as Mike, Mary and John diligently dot the "i"s and cross the "t"s.

I'll admit I'm having flashbacks to corporate life - where often unrealistic deadlines from the "gods" meant 60-70 hour weeks.  This is slightly different though.  The end result is a benefit for us - and the time spent on this won't result in a decrease of my revenue - but just the opposite.

If a thing is worth doing, it's worth doing well - even if it's not top of the list of things I would like to be doing today!
