I require some structure

I happened to post about redoing my personal site the same day a coworker pointed me to Sitesprint. The idea behind it is to stop procrastinating and launch or re-launch your personal site by December 15th. The rules are simple:

1. launch by 12/15
2. document your process
3. on launch, share what you did and how you did it

If you followed the progress of my django site-seach module, you'll know I'm the procrastinating type. Definitely. So I signed up and I'm hoping this will give me the kick in the pants I need to knock this thing out. Forthwith a few personal rules:

• 5 signifigant contribs to the svn repo for my new site CMS per week.
• One blog post about the prcess per week
• Feature-complete by 11/25
• Design (such as it is) done by 12/1
• Design coded by 12/5
• Soft launch 12/10

So, we'll see how it goes. The coding part I'm not worried about, to be honest. But design...ugh. I've tried to redesign this site about 5 times since I launched, and I wasn't happy with anything I came up with, which is why the site still looks like it does.
