news system edit/delete problems PLZ HELP

hi there im working on the news system provided by matt wades tutorial on this site.

im ahving a bit of trouble getting it 2 work properly. after getting the action to work i can now click edit or delete on my posts, but when i do it jsut takes me 2 the last entry in the file and wants to edit/delete that entry instead of the one i selected.

im having a hard time explaining this so maybe u guys wanna jsut take a look at the code. here is a link 2 a example i have uploaded to my website.
