The first two pages of this worksheet are the keys to your kingdom! Guard them well.
The rest of the information is useful when you are building or updating your site.

The worksheet is a good reference document. However, in terms of usability I recommend two tools to implement the worksheet. First and foremost, I recommend LastPass (http://lastpass.com) which is a secure, encrypted, cross-platform password manager, form-filler and note saver. Available for Firefox, Chrome, IE, Safari, iOS and Android, LastPass is much safer and more flexible than writing sensitive data on a piece of paper.
Second, for the To-Do’s I recommend a simple but powerful task management app called Remember The Milk (http://remeberthemilk.com) which features Google Apps integration and shareable task lists.
These are good recommendations. We use Passpack to manage and share passwords with our teams and clients.
OnePassword (http://1password.com) is recommended to us often by our system administrator friends.
Do you use RTM to share with people who don’t have accounts on the system?
This is a very useful all-in-one place for our web site info.
Can you make this available as a word or xl document (instead of adobe) so that it can be modified and saved (and password protected)?
That’s a good idea. At the moment it’s an iWork spreadsheet, I can post that sometime.
Tried your passpack suggestion. Why did I wait so long to do this? Great idea.
