Right, you can flip back and forth between the text editor and the browser. Save in the text editor, Command-Tab to Safari, Command-R to reload, check your work, command-tab back to the editor. Rinse and repeat. Other editors like SubEthaEdit have web preview windows in them so you just command-~ to it but I don't trust these previews and it's not that hard to flip between apps.

in order to see the results of your markup, you'll have to open the HTML in 
Safari. As you edit your text file, save it also as an HTML file and open that 
in Safari. You could simply save these over the previous one so youjust have 
two files with the same name, one with a txt and one with an hTML extension.

HI,

Thanks for your answer. Could you outline the steps to take? I downloaded the 
html file. I opened it in textedit. Then I went to format and selected plane 
text. I saved and got a .txt file but still could not see the code.

Hi, Ioana,

I'd think TextEdit would work well for this. I used to use Notepad for this 
very same thing. I haven't tried this with TextEdit, but I'm sure it would 
work. Just be sure you save it as a text file and don't have any formatting in 
it. Then you could save another version as html and view it in Safari to check 
the results.

HTH,
Teresa

Hi all,
In windows I would sometimes use notepad to make simple additions to my news 
section of my web page.
I have downloaded the html file and was wondering what best to use to add more 
entries. I basically need to see the code exactly to replicate it for the new 
entries. Hope this explanation makes sense.

Thanks for your help,

Ioana
