this is a rather simple procedure, that is why i said to Google how it's done.
anyway, to really n00bify it for you.....

1: download the 3.55 PUP file.
2: extract it using WinRAR or similar (if it is compressed as a .zip or .RAR)
3: if named diferently, rename the file to PS3UPDAT.PUP
4: format a flash drive to Fat32
5: create the following folders on the flash drive- PS3
6: open the folder PS3 and create another folder named- UPDATE
7: place the PS3UPDAT.PUP file into the folder named UPDATE on the flash drive
8: Plug flash drive into PS3
9: navigate to System Update in PS3 menu
10: choose to update the System f/w from Flash Drive.

doesnt get any simpler than that.

Got it done on 2 PS3's. Worked great once I got the zip file figured out.

That's great. Except for the fact they don't offer fw 3.55 on their site.

And besides who cares?? Is this site just for looks?? Or is it a place where people can come to learn as well as give advice and help

That's true, everyone starts somewhere, only most tend to figure out the really easy stuff for themselves.

Enjoy your cfw.
