Being a Webmaster
No one has ever said being a webmaster is simple. Splitting your
time between you life and your site is far from the easiest
thing you can do. When you become a webmaster you end up with a
new lifestyle. You spend more time in front of the computer than
you did before and you get alot of friends.
Those are the things I like to call the "own changes", because
you decide those changes. Then of course there are the changes
that follows on. There are the need of staff and the need of
knowledge. Face it! You can not manage a site on your own. Maybe
you are able to when it is small, but as it grows larger you
will need help. But there is the danger when you are in
desperate need of staff. You are prepared to take the first one
that applies, but that is possibly deemed to go the wrong
direction. If you have patience and review each application
carefully and talk to the person either on E-mail or chat, you
will find persons which are more suitable as staff than other
ones. You also from time to time face many who just likes the
title of being a staff member at your site. And once they are in
the staff they won't help you at all. And there is also the
types which just seem to be the right decition, which turns out
wrong.
To the need of knowledge. As your site progresses and grows you
want to learn more and more advanced thitngs. This is for making
your site better and getter and easier for you to manage. And
this is just natural and nothing wrong with you, and a thing
which most people take as granted. When you first start out, you
can get a site running with a little bit of HTML knowledge. But
it is also good as the site goes on and grows to be a bit
familiar with PHP/ASP, CSS, Graphics making and HTML which is
todays new web standard.You will find scripts which is coded in
often these languages, and knowing a bit in rge langage makes it
all easier for you. It is never requested that you as a
webmaster shall know fluent PHP/ASP, CSS and to make super
graphics. But you should at least know a few things in each
language, if not only know what it is. There are also of
tutorials on the web and there are also many tutorial search
engines. One of the largest and best in general is galled
Pixel2Life (http://pixel2life.com).
If you don't know how to get started on your website there are
also many tutorials on the web at this subject too which can
help you get started.
