Hi all
Just wondering what would qualify someone to call themselves "Webaster"?
I am not really on about qualifications as such, is it experience, the ability to create web sites, the ability to set up a web server or all of these and more?

I think nowadays people just classify anyone who has a website as a webmaster. I think over the years the standards have been lowered. If I could set standards for webmaster, it would be anyone who knows a) html, b) at least one graphic program, c) at least 2 programming (asp, cgi, etc.) languages, and maybe even d) promotion stuff.

That's what I was thinking, but most of the time it just means having a website.

for the sake of my club i take the meaning as
A person whose occupation is designing, developing, marketing, or maintaining Web sites.
works for me!

Thanks to all who replied, I would hate this to get into a heated discussion
I am not worth the effort LOL
I think I will go along with the dictionary meaning. The bit (for my curiosity) that makes all the difference is "occupation."
Thanks again.

I must be a webmaster then !!!
Well, by the dictionary description anyhow.....
If we go by Justin's criteria (which I think is a good way to measure a webmaster) I got a few things to learn yet.
Hell, I'm learning asp right now, and cgi and php are the next things on the list !!! So I'll get there !!

also, you have to know some basic networking skills. If ever you want to apply for a webmaster position with a respectable company...
