Okay, I have tried to do what I read I should do, and I have saved the work I did in the visual editor. It said it was saved, but when I try to see the site, it says that I have not uploaded any files to the website. What am I doing wrong? I did not go through the wizard, but it is not publishing through the editor.

All web browsers are designed to save bandwidth by keeping copies of recently visited pages in your temporary internet files folder which are then displayed instead of going back across the web.

If you are in the process of editing your site you are likely to see an out of date version. All browsers have a "reload" button (on Firefox the blue arrow pointing in a circle) which lets you get the latest version.
