   Okay, so according to this page:

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Page_Templates

   I can create custom templates for Pages. I quote,

   Toward the bottom of the Write->Write Page administration panel (or on the sidebar, depending on which version of WordPress you are using) is a drop-down labeled "Page Template". From there you can select which Template will be used when displaying this particular Page.

   I created a custom php page, added the template name, and copied the contents of the default entry page (for testing and editing purposes), and it doesn't show up when I try to write a page. All I get (other than the main entry editor) is Discussion, Status, Password, Parent, Slug, Author, Upload, and Custom. I'm guessing the template option is disabled for some reason, but I couldn't find a way to activate it.

   Unless it's right there and I don't know what to do.

   I uploaded the custom Page php to my theme folder - or should I upload it somewhere else?

   Any help? Thanks!

   The option will not show up until you have at least 2 (two) Page templates: the default page.php AND another one.
