This is a tiny content strategy framework focused on goals, messages, and branding. This is not a checklist. Use what you need and scrap the rest. Rewrite it or add to it. These topics should help you get to the bottom of things with clients and other people you work with.

The script below is triggered every day from my Mac. I use Hazel to move the tar.gz to an external hard disk once it's finished. This happens every day without me noticing. You can exclude folders if you want to. You probably want to exclude giant cache folders.
You should have a similar script.

| - Div has 10px padding on all sides. | |
| - P or LI's have margin-bottom to space out the next element. | |
| - What you're left with is a giant space at the bottom of the div from the combined properties: padding-bottom: 10px on the Div and margin-bottom: 15px on the last child element. So, instead of using :last-child to try and un-do the styles set on each element, why not set it differently in the first place? |

Custom recipe to get OS X 10.10 Yosemite running from scratch, setup applications and developer environment. I use this gist to keep track of the important software and steps required to have a functioning system after a semi-annual fresh install. On average, I reinstall each computer from scratch every 6 months, and I do not perform upgrades between distros.
This keeps the system performing at top speeds, clean of trojans, spyware, and ensures that I maintain good organizational practices for my content and backups. I highly recommend this.
You are encouraged to fork this and modify it to your heart's content to match your own needs.
