Edit the "motd.txt" file inside the game's base directory. This is how it is on Linux, but I'm assuming it's the same for Windows.

did you update the html or did you just type a bunch of stuff and save it as motd.txt? if you did it and saved it you may have saved it in the wrong place, forgot to upload or?????
