1. Make a backup of the original file.
2. Definately use a text editor
3. Set your system up as a web server, it's not very hard. Preview
pages on your local machine before uploading them to the production
server. If your site also accesses a database, you might be able to
connect to it remotely. If not, install the db program, and either copy
the records to your local system, or put in some dummy records (just so
you can see everything is okay).
4. Be sure to make a backup of the original file. I cannot emphasize
this enough.
