Updating a static html webpage
Hey there
I'm making just a plain static html webpage for a friend, and I would like to give them the option of updating the text in it. I'm not sure of the best and easiest way to do this.
I would usually give them a login online, and allow them to update it there, but then I would have to use some asp.net code if I want to make it safe (i presume). Another way would be to make a simple app in vb.net for their personal pc, and when they are online they can go into this app, change the text, save and click 'upload', and this would ftp upload the new html pages to the site, overwriting what is there.
Do you guys have any other suggestions of a simple way to do this ? I would like to keep the work down as much as possible for me :)

The way I normally do this is to have a login of sorts to an administration section of the website. From there, the user can view the text fields from the DB and change or update accordingly...

You could make your asp.net page write the HTML file over each time it's updated.

Ok thanks,
So it looks like I will have to use asp.net either way. The reason I don't really want to is because hosting will probably be more for supporting aspx pages. Maybe they can just get hold of me if they want changes :)
thanks for the help
