Re: What knowledge do I need to be a good webmaster?

Wow, broad question. I'm not so sure I know how to answer it. Being a webmaster can include everything from developing, to designing, to promoting, to managing a website. Depending on the specific model, it can encompass elements of a community, of a business, of retail/commerce ... there's just so much.

Re: What knowledge do I need to be a good webmaster?

Web design is actually designing the look and feel of sites. PHP and ASP are two backend server-side programming languages that are used to create dynamic web applications - this is the job of the web developer. I guess the only advice I could give is to decide what type of website you want to build, and research what you need to make it a reality.

Re: What knowledge do I need to be a good webmaster?

Still very broad What kind of game or entertaining site? If it is going to be Flash games, you need to know Flash. If it is going to be java games, you need to know java. And so on, and so forth.

One word of advice - don't get discouraged at first. Programming can be very hard (especially for a new programmer struggling to learn) but it can be VERY rewarding.

Re: What knowledge do I need to be a good webmaster?

I'd say there's a big distinction between the webmaster, the web developer, the content provider, the editor, and all other roles for most non-trivial websites.
As the site grows the webmaster will more and more have a supervisory role as a manager with business responsibility rather than being actively involved in the development process itself.
