Using programs such as Dreamweaver and notepad may have cut it in the days of static htm pages but they will only bite you in the backside when dealing with todays MySQL/PHP driven sites.

That's what I'm starting to do now with all my blogs. It’s good to rename or make a duplicate of such file. For example, I will make a copy wp-config-bak.php to keep in the same directory.
