hi people, i think admin of dp should open a forum called webmaster's area btw, back to main point.. what traits and what knowledge do you think a good webmaster should have? , and how will a webmaster rated as "Excellent"?
I think a good webmaster should always be checking on there sites and if it a forum they should be active with the members. If it is a blog the webmaster should update daily. If it's an arcade they should add games daily.
IMHO,the best quality a webmaster should have , is to have an inquisitive nature. Learning , trying and experimenting again and again will get you far.
This is a good thread, I think a good webmaster has to: 1- Be active on their forums. 2- Update their website / blogs frequently. 3- Be proficient in web design. 4- Understand SEO and can make it work for their sites. 5- Give back to forums like these to help others in the same boat. 6- Be willing to learn constantly (since this field is for ever advancing) 7- Be creative and a good problem solver. 8- Be social! (this is hard to do when you are on the computer all day) I'll think of more.
A successful(rather than good I would prefer to say successful) webmaster also creative , anlytical and knowledegable of his niche .
