How to change text on a webpage by changing text in a text document?

[MCMaestro]

Essentially what I need to do is have a simple way for a client to change the text on a news page on a website without altering it in the HTML. What is the simplest way to do this? It would be okay if the client had to upload the text document to the server.

Thanks, and sorry if this is wrong category, there seemed to be nothing regarding web design.

What you want is a content managment system. Joomla or wordpress are a few. Then they login to a website and can type in a text box or paste.info etc.

You can edit HTML in any text editor.
Now for someone who is not a web designer this is "dangerous" because the user can not see that they messed up something.

What you want is to have the user us a WYSISWYG type of editor (What You See Is What You Get) that also has the settings to upload the page to the server.
This is should be seen as part of the cost of having a webpage, and cost savings over paying a developer to change the website daily.

All fine and dandy, but I've looked into these, and unless you design the website in the WCMS it seems difficult to implement it easily. I think boosted1g's idea is best.

Yeh, I think this is the way to go, even if it was a piece of free WYSISWYG editor such as Expression Web. TY.
