Newbie Question - How to save stylesheet edits??

Hi! I'm sure this question is so elementary but for some reason I am having so much trouble with it. Please help!

I made edits to my CSS Stylesheet to change some font colors, however, I don't know how to save the edits so that it actually updates my website.

I am using the Firebug and Webdeveloper. I make the edits and the only option I see to save is "Save page as" so I do that but when I reopen the stylesheet it still has the previous settings and doesn't show my changes.

What is the proper way to edit and save the stylesheets so that my edits are permanent?

Thank you so much to everyone who takes time helping us newbies!!!!

If you're making changes in Firebug or Web Developer, then they're only temporary in the window that you're viewing and will last only as long as the next page refresh.

To make a permanent change you need to edit the stylesheet using a text editor and upload it to your webserver, just as you would any of your PHP files.

Ohhhhh, well, thank you for that information, kuroi. I edited it in text editor and it worked perfectly, thank you so very much!!!!!!

Yes... be careful to edit using only a PLAIN TEXT editor. I use EMERALD EDITOR and NOTEPAD++ (different from NOTEPAD).

Both are freeare on the internet.
