No problem. I wasn't necessarily expecting you to do any actual
construction on the web pages. At least not without close coordination
with the web page maintainers. I'm sure that they will be willing to let
you do some of the production work, as long as you coordinate your efforts
with those responsible for the work.
I had seen your job to be more of a liason between the needs of the AM
team and the parties responsible for maintaining the web pages. It is a
very nice added bonus that you are willing to do some of the actual setup
work involved as well. I simply caution you to make sure you have the
cooperation of the web page maintainer before you "barge" in and start
changing things ;-)

Yes, done.
Thanks for taking on this task,
