I am the only web person (out of 45 staff) at the non-profit where I work and my official title is “Webmaster.” I must say I am somewhat embarrassed to use the term, because it is so dated and has an amateurish connotation.

I am not sure what I would want to change it to though. I am, in essence, a web manager – responsible for anything that touches the website. From posting new content to doing user testing to some light coding. I source talent for, and manage web projects as needed.

I do not agree about the HTML expert point. Yes many people can code HTML but is it validate? Is it up to date? Is it cross platform etc. There is a difference between a good HTML coder and the “well who doesnt” type of HTML coder.

The thing about Front page is (No I am not sticking up for MicroSoft) it can be useful. About 12 years when I was first discovering HTML code. If I came across a web page that did something cool. Like the cursor trailers “LOL”.
Frontpage was used to help me understand what code did what.

I have not used FP in about 12 years. But it did help.

So if FP is all you have.
The let it be known it can be helpful.

Good post.

You wrote this two years ago, and it is still so true today…agree 100%. Seriously does anyone actually still use (ever used) FP?

You completely miss the point on #7. He’s advertising for himself on his own webpage. The mark of “that guy” is when “that guy” is advertising for himself on his clients website.

“Follow standards in the initial build and then fix it in Internet Explorer — that’s the flow”

So so true!
