Thanks MattEvans.

creating your own code is a great thing... though you should want to use a tool like EditPlus, since it (at least) highlights code and stuff, it's pretty useful...

you should take a look to the book i recommended... it's a really good book... and not a heavy reading... i read it myself, and i truly recommend it... specially if you write your own code...

MattEvans points to another good alternative. The only drawback would be the learning curve. At this point though, it's something you should really consider if you're going to be doing this more. SSI can be configured on most servers and there's plenty of help out there. While there are differences in the varying coding languages, they really aren't too difficult to learn with a little time and effort.

server side include is best option,
typing code is nice , for that try edit plus or notepad++....
