is there an html editor that can edit webpages directly on the website online, or do an illusion of it (ie, do the ftp-ing in the background with local copies)? Ideally it would allow a 'preview' before uploading it back to the host, and ideally you would be able to save 'drafts' locally (like with email) if you want to work on them later. Oh, and ideally it would be free (cost nothing). ;)

What's a good Windows app for remotely editing files on my hosted server? Currently my method is to hand-code HTML in Notepad then use a custom batch script to FTP it to the server, or to telnet and use pico. Obviously this is horrifically tedious. I'm ready to come out of the 1990s. What's a good, nonbloat Windows app that will help me? Something that will maintain the content locally and upload changed files is be a bonus. Frontpage is bloat and way overkill.

Job title: editor to ____ ? I work with an online publishing company and I started out as a editor/production editor. Recently, I've started to learn Flash and more HTML, and basically the goal is to add more multimedia/design to my role. They want to create a new job title/position for me. (I work on a team of SMEs and instructional designers, and there's one multimedia developer that works with us a few times a year.) What job title should I recommend/ask for? If you can't tell, my boss isn't particularly tech-savvy or that knowledgable about the field.
