My primary skills are research, writing, editing, and configuration
and maintenance of single-source authoring toolchains. That requires
fairly deep knowledge of HTML and CSS, but I lack the superior visual
skills I'd want in a web designer.
In an online color perception test, I got an 8 ("dog") while my
designer friend got a perfect 32 ("android").
