It sounds like what you really need is none of that at all, but a simple 
content management system (CMS). There are dozens of these (leaving 
aside the corporate-level ones which cost 000s), and many of them are 
Open Source. You can even use a blog-like system to achieve this.

What you're doing is teaching yourself XML and related techniques -- 
which in itself is A Good Thing -- but not doing what your friend asked 
and making them a web site :-)
