webmonkey passable understanding of {HTML} but little else. It is often supposed that, in the New Media food chain, there is nothing lower than a webmonkey. Alas, there is: people who barely have the skills to use FrontPage; these people are called "typists". The {B1FF} of webmonkeys is personified as {Bobo the Webmonkey}.
