1. A computer-implemented method of managing computer macros, comprising:

  • providing to a macro author, with a computer system, a group of selectable user interface elements, the elements including behavior that, when controls generated by the elements are selected by a user of a computing device, cause a web-connected server that is separate from the computing device to perform one or more defined operations;

    receiving a selection by the macro author of one of the selectable user interface elements, and an identification of one or more parameters for the author-selected element;

    causing, by the computer system, macro code to cause generation of controls associated with the author-selected elements to be associated with a first macro, the first macro stored to be called from and execute on computing devices other than a device used by the macro author; and

    storing the macro code and making the generated macro code available for access by users of a hosted computer system other than the macro author.
