 * Hey,
 * After I installed WordPress on my computer, created a site using the administration
   interface of wordpress and uploaded all the files to an external server – If 
   I want to update the site (add another page, update an existing page and etc.),
   I need to delete and upload all the files from the computer to the server again?
   Or is there another way?
 * Thank you in advance,
    Yuval

   so, then how?

 * Did you just copy files or did you install WordPress?

 * Installed, and after doing some changes on the local host I want to update it
   on the external server.

 * Synchronizing a dev site and a live site is not easy. Did you change content 
   or files?

 * Yes? Yes what? If you changed both, upload the changed files and then update 
   posts/pages/etc.

 * Sorry I didn’t understand you, I meant content. My question is how do I update
   the posts, pages and etc?

 * You edit them on the live site, not on the dev site. If you want to create a 
   work flow where all work is done on a test site then migrated to a live one, 
   then there are tools, but it’s a complex arrangement.
