I made my first million using Frontpage (still can't write html) and I will NEVER change from Frontpage now on principle... not that I do much of that anyway.
I couldn't code even Basic to save my life (To me, PHP is a bad halucinogenic from the 60's)
I came inot this business 3 years ago not knowing HTML, Design, Photoshop.. ads, ANYTHING.
All I could do was load an Arlse gallery into frontpage, add a couple text links like "more of me here" and upload.
That was the extent of my knowledge.
Now I can code html, css, do photoshop pretty good, build galleries from scratch, do SEO friendly text links that pull clicks, paragraphs etc etc etc etc.
I'm still learning, always will be learning. The day you cease to learn anything new is the day you're skills start getting stale.
Sometimes it's best to outsource everything if you're maina spect is 'business' and content work but there will be a day when someone your ely on won't be around anymore and you'll be stuck.
Learn what you can. For small jobs, do it yourself a few times.
A CEO of a webmaster program should at least know how to code HTML and work photoshop enough to make thumbs.

The more knowledge you have about the job, the better a leader you can become.
Whitehat is for chumps
If you don't do it, somebody else will - true story!
in my opinon, its better to outsource some things even if you know how to do them
So true.
Logic says that if you can pay someone to do a job and have it done to the same standard as you could have done it but at half the cost or less (someone else doing the task then allows you to focus on your real bread & butter).
I think you gotta have an idea of the basic stuff in this business but there are way more to it hten just skills ... how long as you know how to get the stuff done proprely...

When I did galleries I outsourced the design work and it worked out. I got up to $70 a day off an hour of work a day in 2003.
SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.
