Yup, pretty much sums it up for what I do or try to get done all in a day. Would be nice if you could write about nice tools to help get these things done. But anyways great stuff!

That’s describes my day. Plugins sure help with the spam, so I’m not spending too much time on that aspect. I make it a point to update my installation and plugins every week for all my blogs.

Definitely, shoot IE6.

Good article man!
I love when you almost go into theory and classify things.

1. Comment moderation and spam

I don’t get thousands of spam comments, but I am confidently in hundreds range. Good that I don’t see most of them because I opted for antispam plugin that actually makes sense to me (being coded by me). :)

2. Email Support

Not an email person, most of requests come in comments or Skribit and land in bookmarks queue for future.

3. Updates and Security

On shared server-side tweaks are zilch and WP does pretty good job with one-click upgrades.

4. Features and Plugins

Ouch here… Being techie I can’t resist all that fancy stuff and being newbie at PHP (and retard at JavaScript) they sure can eat time to figure out.

I fight this by “feature freeze” periods (am in one now). I just stop adding or tweaking anything at my blog to calmly evaluate how current stuff works. All new toys go in queue for bulk processing later.

5. Design

“Freeze” (see above) on current theme, making new one. Do it at elisure so it doesn’t affect rest of tasks.

6. Performance

Spent a lot on this initially, but things remain quite fast since.

7. Testing and Compatibility

Someone shoot IE6 already. It eats 90% of compatibility time.

8. Advertising

Not much at moment. Going to code some custom code in new theme so I can test and such with minimum maintenance.

9. Hosting, Domain and Billing

Single blog, pay in 3-months chunks. Easy.

10. Networking

I don’t play well with others. Maybe with some. :)

That pretty much sums up what I do on a day to day basis, in addition to that you might want to add that many webmasters have to handle a network of blogs so multiply the tasks * the no blogs in the network.

And yes I still have a full time job so more work there LOL :-)

[...] http://www.ghacks.net/2009/08/01/10-things-webmasters-do-besides-writing-articles/Tech support questions are usually the most time consuming to answer especially if it is not possible to test the problem locally.

[...] I’m not sure if this article covered all the aspects. There are probably more including tax reports, law suites and the like. Please post a comment if you have something to add or would like to voice your opinion on the subject. Being a webmaster is more than meets the eye. via ghacks.net [...]
