    Easiest way of changing text on site
    « on: October 27, 2009, 10:39:14 PM »
    I want to make a simple website, one page (text only) has to be able to be changed in a quick and easy way. Maybe something with a login name and a really simple editor. How can I do this? thanks in advance

    How were planning on hosting the website?  Have you decided on a hosting service?  Most hosting services have some type of html editor that works inside your web browser.  You just logon, edit the page, save it, and log off.

      hi
      You could try using FTP. There are a lot of text editors that have the ability to upload directly to FTP. Also, your operating system may support 'mounting' FTP or WebDAV on your local system as a directory, which would make it as easy as editing a file on your PC. SCP or Rsync on Unix systems is also a good option. What kind of OS do you have, or what exactly do you want?

      If you decide to go the route of an simple 'online edit' type script with a web interface, I would make sure to implement some security checks. Especially if this thing will be editing a file on your server's filesystem, or storing the text into a SQL database. Be careful with XSS (wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_scripting) and other things too.

        Maybe a blog from blogger.com would be the easiest way to go for you?
