webmonkey

World-Wide Web a largely unskilled Web worker - one with a

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 theWebmonkey.

Compare actor/singer/waiter/webmaster.

And compare sysape, one-banana problem, scratch monkey,

monkey up, and Infinite-Monkey Theorem for other simian

allusions.
