Hey all, I'm new to this forum and to web design and management in general. I have no clue how to get into web mastering and am excited to start getting my feet wet. I was wondering if anyone could help get me acclimated. Maybe recommending some useful books, tips, or some examples of how you got into web mastering would be very helpful. Thanks

Welcome DerekE -

I suggest reading a lot of the stickies in the different topical areas of this forum would be a good start.

Welcome to WT Derek. Don't worry, we were all new to this stuff at some point. I'll second the vote to read some of the sticky posts in the sections of the forum you're most interested in. You should find links to keep you busy.

What you want to learn will depend a little on what your goals are. Do you want to be more designer than developer or the other way around? A little of both? Will the marketing side of things appeal to you most?

Feel free to start a new thread asking for book recommendations, ideally with some ideas about where you want to go with web design and development. I'm sure we can come up with some good recommendations.
