No, a web content developer is the person who decides what TEXT and resources are going on the web site. The designer is doing graphics, layout, navigation, etc. - the content developer is filling it all in. And it is very possible to be both - I am - but generally that would happen if 1 person works for a company that is large enough for "running the website" to be a full time job, but small enough that the job can be handled by one person. I call myself "webmaster" or sometimes "internet information services director" when I want to get fancy, and in my job I am responsible for everything from running the servers to programming and coding the sites to putting up content. Sometimes I create my own content (I write an article and post it), sometimes I modify something else that is already written, sometimes my company sends me something and says "put it on the website" and I just figure out where it ought to go. I also answer or redirect most of the email that comes into the site, too - :) It's great fun, but it means I have to know my company's business the same way I would if I were managing a real-world store or retail outlet. I can do this because of the way my position developed - I was an office manager for the company and also edited their newsletter, and once upon a time the website was just one more little thing I was supposed to be in charge of. The website grew and grew and gobbled up all my time, but it was my favorite thing, and also the one part of my job I was really good at, so now I'm in charge of all-things-internet-related and not much else. -Abigail ____ • The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM • ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To change subscription settings to the wdvltalk digest version: http://wdvl.internet.com/WDVL/Forum/#sub ________________ http://www.wdvl.com _______________________ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
