I consider myself a "web author" who wishes she knew enough to be a
Webmaster. I create graphics, plan the design, write or import the
text (and no canned templates, by golly!), but once it's off my
computer (this week, I hope!) it will be out of my hands. I consider
the "techie" guy in Systems Design to be the Webmaster.
