How do I save a file using SSH?, I'm using PuTTY

Well, I feel really stupid asking this, but when you make changes to a file, how do you save it? I logged into PuTTY and typed in this to (hopefully) edit the server configuration files: vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf I was finally able to figure out how to edit it, but now, I can't figure out how to save it. Please help!! Thank you!

It's a little easier to use than Vi. mmm. love nano. Best. Editor. Ever. I prefer Emacs, but Nano is a lot easier to use. At around 3am I usually switch over to using Nano because my brain is too tired to remember key-bindings.
