Uploading Dreamweaver pages to live site

Question

Hi,
I've just had to teach myself Dreamweaver in order to edit my
website, as I was let down by my webmaster. However, now that I've
made thse changes I need to upload them to the live site. Can
someone please help me by providing me with a list of simple
instructions which a layman can understand?
Many thanks, and sorry for the trite nature of this posting.
