I have never, and would not, create a domain live without a contact page or link of some sort. Its unprofessional and shady to say the least. I enjoy the great feedback you guys give me. I never think of things the same way as some of you with more experience.

But I feel since I already have people looking for what I will be selling on the domain and traffic from the blog it will be connected to I don't want to set up links that aren't clickable on the blog (marked coming soon or some such) or have the site live but not completely live (no ordering capability) while I finish off things. Based on how long my first attempt at page rang took I worry about loosing time between buying the domain and launching the page.

I have actually though about programming it to say something similar to "under contruction-prolonged due to" and then a changing upon refresh saying. So once it would say walking the dog, then making dinner, washing my hair, etc. I want as much up when I make it "live" as possible but I've got some learning to do with the shopping cart/e-commerce side before I can open it up for orders.
