When I make changes to the site, I keep getting an older version appear when I re-visit my website?

This is all down to your computer viewing a locally stored cached version of your website and not the actual live version.

To overcome this you will need to visit your site and the hold down the Ctrl (control) key on you keyboard and press the F5 key. This will force your web browser to to download a new copy form the internet.
