Hi Justin

You write “I’ll get to that in the next tutorial” are you planning to continue with this series? I have avidly read your posts on page templates and would like to learn more, perhaps you can point me in the right direction?

Yes, you must run WordPress on your own site to use custom themes. You can use the themes Automattic allows if you’re using the .COM service.

I guess this is a dumb question, but are custom themes only for those who are running WP on their own site (not just using http://www.wordpress.com)?

you say change the header and then save the example.php–but WHERE do you save it? when it’s modified, do you mean modify it within a text editor and then save it there, and then upload it ( example.php or any new template) ? if so, which directory do we upload/save it to? wp-content? OR the folder where the material for that page goes? (In my case, blog/video/example.php). I’m just a little confused about where we put these things we create.

I don’t see where to choose a page template. I don’t see anything called Attributes (I’m using 3.1). The WordPress codex says, “Toward the bottom of the Write > Page administration panel (or on the sidebar, depending on which version of WordPress you are using) is a drop-down labeled “Page Template.” I can’t find that either.

Can you help?
Thanks

Thanks alot!

That pictured helped me alot, due to a bug in wordpress admin I couldn’t see the page template until I selected default theme – and then back to my own. But it was the picture that made me realize that there should’ve been something there and not just that I didn’t find it. Thanks again…

Keep up the good work.
Best Wishes Palle

by the way, if the admin of this site cares to edit my original content, this is a great source for the proper conditional tags to use in your custom page template to call different headers based on certain criteria.
