Where's the 30-day / $1K Web Site?

You’ll notice that time has run out on my challenge to build a full publication web site in under 30 days and for less than $1000. I’m happy to report that I’m getting closer, but two things happened that put me a couple weeks off pace. First, we moved to a new house. This consumed an entire week of vacation time plus every evening and weekend for the next week after that. Right afterward, I had to travel to New York for various meetings and to speak at the Publishing Executive conference. And remember I still have a full-time job with Penton that takes priority. So technically I should be given at least another two weeks to launch the site.

Is this an excuse? Am I copping out? Absolutely not … well maybe. You can drop me a comment here and let me know your thoughts. But hey, it’s my blog and it’s the one place that I can call the shots. I’m giving myself a pass and an extra two weeks to get it launched.
