    Just doing some research.

    How long have you been a webmaster?
    What skills do you possess?
    Do you make enough to money online to pay all your bills?

    I've been a webmaster for almost 5 years.. Since I was about to turn 14. I'm almost 19 now.

    since 1998. But I still haven't learn php yet. So I have to outsource to get my scripts done/fixed.

    For young webmasters out there, I suggest you learn PHP!

    I've been learning since about 1996. Still learning something new everyday.
    PHP, html, xhtml, actionscript, lingo, blablabla...

    My sites pay the bills. My freelance work pays for my extravagant lifestyle :p

    I've been a webmaster since May of 2004. Time sure flies fast.

    Wow, you're young, I wish I had started at 14, I would likely have millions by now. I'm 25, and the age you say you became a webmaster makes me feel old.

    I bought my first domain at age 16. When I started, when I was 14, I was using Geocities. Then I taught myself HTML and design.

    I've been a webmaster since 1999, first making my own websites and then others in the new age & holistic arenas. Things are always changing and would like to learn more. I've used FrontPage for so long & SwishMax for flash. Good Luck on your research. Happy Friday!
