But for those of you who do it all... alone: (designing, coding, SEO, content, marketing, advertising, maintenance, crying, rejoicing, hosting, troubleshooting, etc) ...
What are your best and worst attributes.
For me:
Best: Designing. I always look forward to mapping out designs and color schemes.
Worst: Content (I get the web version of, "writer's block" from time to time!)
Worst: Design. I hate it, can't make anything look even halfway decent on my own.
Worst: Doing the accounting (tedious but necessary) and dealing with bad customers (annoying but necessary)
Best: raw HTML, CSS, PHP, writing and authoring
Worse: Hosting responsebility and Social contacts
Becoming better: Javascript / DHTML
Most intrest: Weird website psychologie.. huh?!;)
Im looking forward to give my hosting out to a specialized company to focus only on content and site building.
For Celgins, dont stop writing; never! It will be better and better i think. For me: i like creating little rhyms when i am on my bike or something.. become a master in your language and you could connect almost every word to create a nice story!
Sorry for my english.. im a (crazy) flying dutch man
ps. whats 'rejoicing'?

Worst: design, especially colours and graphics; completing projects I start, and not letting myself get distracted by trivial details
I write content that is very similar to what I used to be paid to do as an employee so I have relevant expertise, experience and qualifications.
I am just not good at marketing. I can handle basic SEO, but I really have to forcemyself to get other aspects of marketing (link generation etc.) done.
I often go to bed with a problem on my mind and wake up and immediately have the solution. Amazing!)
Geez... I thought I was the only one who did that! :)
whats 'rejoicing'?
r3nz0... I won't stop writing, but I hope it gets easier! BTW, rejoicing is to feel joyful, or be delighted. Although a lot of us probably think we have more "crying" days than "rejoicing" days!

coding, particularly high-performance database backed interactive sites
One of my favs as well, but I'm starting a site now where I'm taking hardcore SEO into consideration. As a result, I'm trying to use more static pages and not so many database queries (mostly querystrings)

Oddly enough, SEO and database driven sites are not incompatible, it's just a matter of dressing up the URLs. And making sure the page is delivered quickly enough that - for the recipient - there's no noticeable difference between it and a purely static page.

True. I've been researching different ways to accomplish this.
