Just a tip for those who plan out your areas on paper before you startup the OLC: check out something called "ghost" board, it is a posterboard with really faint graphed lines in it. 1 board is just about perfect for a 500-800 vnum area, and might manage a compact 1000 vnum area. I also find it is _really_ nice to have a visual lying around for me as I link other areas to it (all the room vnums are listed on the board, hehe) and it is also nice as I decide to add other additional rooms to flesh it out.
I know some of you already know about this stuff, but some don't and I know it really helped me a lot when I stumbled across this stuff at the local Mart.
