Do you think that a webmaster must have decent coding skills before even attempting to set up a website, or that he can start with little experience and learn on the road, when facing up problems?
I would love to listen to experienced members
A webmaster is a master of the web which is going to include some coding skills in order to function in that role.

Thank you for the attention Omni c:
I'm wondering how wise would be starting a Mybb board with little knowledge related to html / php and almost none about Mysql databases. One of my dreams is to create my own community and even if i already have ideas related to contents, each time that i think about switching to the practical side i say to myself: "Stop! You cannot pretend to run a Mybb board without first knowing how it works". It wouldn't be professional.
But when i read that Mybb has over 100.000 lines of pure code and i remember that i'm beginner that doesn't even know where to start from, i feel depressed and give up.... so i find myself willing to try in each case, hoping to learn on the road.
On HF you said that you run boards since '87; may i ask if when you launched your first site you were already a skilled coder?
You have to start and have desire and have patience. I suggest you read all you can and experiment. Use a localhost setup like XAMPP or WAMP.

I will try and hopefully learn something new.
Thank you c:
You have to have some kind of experience if you want to make a decent website. I've been doing web developing for some years now, and I am still learning. I'm not near the top at all, but I will always complete the job. If I run into problems, I usually just search on Google for answers related to my issue.
Most issues have been resolved and commented on other sites such as
http://stackoverflow.com/.
Webmaster is very useful to get information about activities happening on our website.
Webmaster should not stop from learning. Experience would be the best asset.
