Here's my earlier reply which I failed to send to the list but sent to
you directly. The short answer is, yes, keep a browser open and hit
refresh after changing (and saving the changes) the file.
I suggest your favorite text editor in an xterm along with your
favorite web browser alongside with frequent use of the "refresh"
button.
WYSIWYG HTML editors all seem to have one flaw that most consider
fatal. The size of the code generated is usually about 3 to 5 times
larger than what is actually needed to create the same page by hand.
This is a big drawback when trying to create neat, fast-loading pages.
