I hate to say it but this is going to take some work. Being that you are currenly using a static page for the news. You are going to have to change this to a none static. i.e. pull info from a database, or if you want a quick and easy meathod you can have it pull from the rss feed to create the page. Eather meathod will allow the client to only have to change one area. Other wise if you want to check the same approace the client is going to have to edit both the static page as well as the rss feed.
Being that you do have support for PHP and I hope you have access to a MySql database threw your host. You can create an admin area were the client posts there news at, Them when they submit it. Threw your PHP coding the page will both edit the rss feed and the database. Then on your front end were the uses read the news you will jsut use php to grab the news from the database and display it on the page.
You can use the other meathod. Were your static plage just displayes the rss feed as the news, but these requires the client to know XML to edit the feed.
If you want to learn up on how to create rss feeds by hand you need to pick up a good XML book ot find a tutirials website on the matter. If you want to learn to create them threw PHP most good PHP books have a section on creating RSS/XML feeds.
