Updating HTML website images and content.

Once I upload and publish the website build with HTML/ CSS, what’s the best way to update the content: copy and images later? Contect to Wordpress or via Chrome Developer Tool?

Thank you

Hi Alexandra,

I'm not entirely sure what's being asked here but if you've already uploaded something to your website and published using FTP software (with something like FileZilla) then the way to update your website is to repeat the process. Update your files on your local machine in the way you always would and then replace your files in the same way.

It's like when you backup your files to an external drive on your computer. Your webserver is a special kind of hard drive that allows you to publish files to your part of the internet.

Chrome Dev Tools is the tool we use to analyse and debug websites whereas WordPress is simply one of the most popular content and publish frameworks on the web. Hope this helps :)

Thanks Jonathan. I think its better to connect to Wordpress and update the content from there. At least this is what I gathered form the Wordpress course.
