Hi everyone, thanks for the education. Quite the adventure actually. Granted it might have been the editor I tried, since I am not as of yet physically able to use voiceover or textedit. Still, trying to edit the information with the .htm file for my site page produced...less than successful

If you are just modifying the content then a simple text editor will work fine. In the end, unless there is some complex content management system behind the scenes, HTML files are just text. So you could open up the text file, wade through (and otherwise ignore) all the markup and just modify
