Best way to edit/update a theme suggestions

Permalink
Hi all,

I've recently created my first theme from an HTML document a designer built in DreamWeaver. Most things are OK - still have some learning and tweaking to do.

My Question: What is the best practice for editing/updating a theme once installed?

I have been editing directly from the FTP File Manager of my hosting account. I've also been editing them locally and then using an FTP client to post them back to the theme directory. The latter with limited success.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Seth
