Feedback is good
I was once told that one of the worst things about websites is that 'you do your development in public'. That's not a bad thing, that's a great thing. Sure your mistakes are out there, but so are your successes, and most importantly of all people who are actually interested in what you are doing will take the time to comment.My MBA class have been giving me great feedback about my new website. Everything from the copy, to the URL to the prices I'm planning to charge. They've even recommended books I should be reading.
So, in some ways it's back to the drawing board, or at least the construction site, but its going back with a new raft of ideas and a new bunch of things to work on. It's a good feeling, and as I slowly expose the site to more and more audiences the key will be tracking the feedback, watching the logs and making sure I end up with something good. I certainly think I'm getting there.
