Webmaster = Noob

If you consider yourself a web designer or you are planning to hire one then you should definitely read this article:

    Webmaster… I think I like that word. It’s meaningful, understandable for people that actually have absolutely NO IDEA about web technologies. Also, by using that word you can avoid that “hey you work with computers, could you fix my windows plz? okay that’s great!” problem…

    Oh yeah, flash. What kind of an idiot makes a web page that’s only accessible by flash?

    Bart, interesting way to avoid work. If you see the word webmaster on the page you will invariably find scrolling marquees. Eg: http://annauniv.edu

    George, all these engineering college buggers do. Since they all use IE (morons) they can view it.

    I dislike flash pages, hard to bookmark specific pages.

    Yeah can’t open links in tabs either. It’s like living in a IE nightmare.
