My Webmaster Education

What is your definition of a webmaster?

What subjects would this definition traverse?

Would you reply with "website design"?

What is "website design"? Should the style and layout of the website define "website design"?

Should "website design" include the structural planning of which features and functions make up the website?

Would you add Marketing?

How would you define Marketing: 1: Marketing of the website to the world, 2: Marketing the website products to it's visitors? Is there a difference between the two?

What about the security of the software?

What else should be considered in the definition of a webmaster?

I'll be the first to admit that I don't have all the answers. I've explored all of the above subject areas along with quite a few others. By default, I'm sure I've omitted subjects.

I realize there are many sources for information regarding whatever defines being a webmaster. I've wanted to document my path on this journey for some time and actually regret not having started sooner.

The question of "what do I hope to accomplish" took me awhile to answer. As I thought about "why, what, & how", I came up with a lot of small reasons.

Amoungst them:
To ridicule various SEO experts. (And show what is wrong.)
To admire other SEO experts. (And show what is right.)
To document the path travelled as I hone my skills as a webmaster.
Sure be nice if I could pay back the community by teaching someone else.
Earn 75 cents off Adsense.
Meet another friend or two.
