    Just recently I was going to send out a release about one of my sites, but decided to wait until I'd made a minor change to the report signup form.

    That "minor" change threw my entire web site into disarray and it took over five hours to get it back up. This was a live web site. I had to put up a "technical difficulties" note and work non-stop to fix the problem.
