Response to Todd Anderson

Todd makes a good point about choosing which areas of a draft to revise, without trying to fix everything. Also, he mentions to revise for the reader, not yourself. This made me think about a website that I am currently building. I keep getting hung up on every small detail, instead of focusing on the major parts of information that I want to get across to my viewers. It's not just a matter of having the information, but more about how it's presented, how accessible it is, and how reader/viewer-centered it is. I think that sometimes it's easy to try to make things to be the way you want them, while losing sight of making things the way readers/viewers want them. If you stick with the core issues and present them clearly, you can go back to all the small details later.
