 * Hi WordPress friends,
 * I have just started to use WordPress and am now helping another user develop 
   her WordPress website. I have read many of the Codex documents, including the
   one on editing, but I would like to know the best option for helping another 
   user edit the XHTML. The owner of the site sent me the information to access 
   her files on her server, and I have been able to edit CSS and PHP files. However,
   when I need to edit the XHTML, what is the best way? As I understand the options,
   I could download her database onto my development platform, edit it, then copy
   it back onto her server, or I could ask for her WordPress password and access
   her site as she would then edit using the code view, or I could email her the
   new XHTML and she could paste it into code view herself. Are these the only options?
   Which option do experienced developers prefer? Thank you very, very much! I really
   need and appreciate your help!
