   Where should I upload it exactly and once uploaded I can I install or activate it?

   Where do I upload the security fixes file to? I can download it, extract file if need be, to my desktop. I can upload through Unlimited FTP to my allotment on BlueHost server...I just don't know where to put it. I have a public-html folder/file, and within that I have wp-content for the first domain established at BlueHost and also at that level I have the file folder for each subsequent domain I have hosted at Blue Host...

   Where do I up do the security fixes to? I tried plugins for one of my domains, id didn't work...

   Where should I upload it exactly and once uploaded I can I install or activate it?

   My name is Nia. My email is commonwealth_solutions at yahoo dot com. Thanks for help. All clues appreciated.

   It's a "security update release" :) This is what I mean.

   Yes I have the download...and now that I have:
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress

   I have the impression that it is not a matter of uploading that which was downloaded (like a theme or a plug in...this is different...way different)

   The instructions are very involved...and I didn't even glance at the "detailed instructions" yet. Wow!

   IS THERE a "pluggin" for this? ...by chance?

   Thanks MichelH! :)
