If you want to design and build websites, you should learn how to do that. I'd recommend this book: http://www.amazon.com/dp/0596527527/ In that case, BBEdit (or TextWrangler) would be a useful tool for you.
But if you simply want to add and edit the content on your own web site, this is the wrong approach—like going the long way around the world, it'll get you to your destination eventually but it's not advisable. Instead, you should set up (or have someone set up for you) a site on a content-management platform such as WordPress or TypePad. These are systems that are designed to make it easy for non-technical people to edit content on their sites. Take a look at wordpress.com and typepad.com to get started. gr.
