From MD to WEBMASTER

January 19, 2010
I have been blogging for almost three years now but been writing since I was in my elementary years. This is really my passion, WRITING. However, when I enrolled in a medical school, wherein that time, I already had my Medical Blog – Pinoy Medical Doctor, there was one medical student, who happened to be the President of the Asian Medical School Association who asked me to be part of the Philippine Medical Students’ webpage. He asked me if I could work with them as a writer and a secondary head webmaster for the maintenance of the website for Philippine medical students.

Honestly, I was very flattered when he just contacted me through my Walking Newspaper blog. But I was hesitant also whether to accept the offer or not. He even told me that if I will be working with them, the website will somehow be run by me. I will be the one to manage the write-ups or articles and the kachings of the site. However, I asked myself if I really have that enough knowledge for webhosting techniques. I told him I am a Bachelor of Science in Biology graduate and recently a Medical Student; I have an idea on SEO which I experienced working as part time SE Optimizer before back in college though. But webhosting itself, I am not confident enough for that stuff. Much more, the webpage is hosted by Joomla. I used to hear Joomla from co-workers before, but haven’t tried operating it yet.

Working with them, I mean with other medical students for the benefit of the medical student association would be good but I guess I still need to have ample time to learn and study about webhosting.

    Hi GG!

    It is better to research web hosts closely before making a decision about them. Still, it is good to hear anyone expressing any kind of interest in a site!:)

    Hey GG, that is what my job is right now, I am a webmaster/SEO builder and link builder for an online pharmaceutical company and I hate it!

    I am not a freakin' web developer/SEO builder/Link builder, I AM A WRITER, therefore I WRITE, but I haven't been given any writing assignments which really piss me off… I hate my job but have no choice but stay until my contract expires… It sucks!

    Wow that is a big honor to have somebody think that you could do such a big position. Congrats my dear. I think you could do it but like D said you need to think about all your options and do a lot of research. :-)
