why not train and hire professionals?  (it's a rethorical question.
don't answer that.)  problem is, i have in the past handed over
websites to employees that had just been told that from now on
they'll be responsible for the company's website.  all i can say is,
hmmm, ok, if that is how important the internet is for your
business, fine!

in my own place of work right now i'm appalled how little co-
operation is happening between the personnel that has been
designated web designers and how little consistency and
centralized decision making re. the representation of the university
on the web there is.  they're allegedly working on it... but that's a
whole other issue.

i *really* need to do some work now... :)
