A webmaster before… Now a blogger. Why? Because people use to call my website as blog. So I am a blogger now.

I’m both because, well, I really am both. I own multiple websites, some that are blogs (and some of those on which I actually do blog) and some that aren’t.

I setup new sites for those who don’t have the technical expertise to do so and don’t want to climb the learning curve to do it themselves — they just want to disseminate information (which can be time consuming enough itself). Some of my clients’ sites are blogs, some aren’t. Depends on their needs and intended use.

The two can be mutually exclusive. You can be a blogger who’s never done webmastering and you can be a webmaster who’s never blogged. Or, like me, you can do both.

I guess I still consider myself a webmaster. Even though I do have my own personal blog, there are still situations where a html design page has advantages over using a web application like wordpress, Joomla, drupal, and other mysql + php based solutions.

I personally don’t find updating html/xhtml pages hard once the template is done. If you have a high traffic site, its much easier to serve html pages vs calling php and msql functions. This means you can get by serving the same amount of traffic with a much smaller server.

One last thing to consider is there really is no vulnerabilities in html pages. A person just needs to keep their server patched. In wordpress for example, not only must you keep your server patched but also wordpress updated as well.

I guess I am still a webmaster, but I blog too. I just choose to use the right tool for the job.

I’m the same when it comes to producing blogs. I still produce static sites every once in a while, so I’m hanging on to my webmaster title too!

Blogger over the other. I do learn as I go, but outsource most design…just not my thing.

Knowing your limitations is huge.

Hi Anne, this is a fun question. I’m so totally a blogger it ain’t even funny. I know maybe 1 or 2 things about HTML, so I totally suck at it.

At least I’m not afraid to admit it;)

@J Smith too true!
Imagine trying to add a bit more of a margin to a graphic and not having any CSS skills!
The html and CSS will always be there but for me… no more struggling with Internet Explorer.
