 * Hi, I seem to be having a problem. I’m following the guide to making an archive
   on codex.wordpress, this one specifically:
 * “Upload the archives.php in your theme directory (wp-content/themes/themename/).
   Then from the Admin Panel, Write > Write Page
 *  1. Give your new archives Page a suitable title like Archive Index. Leave the
   Page content blank.
 * In the sidebar open the //Page templates// box, and select the //Archives// template.
   After saving it you will see a new item in your pages list, click on it, and 
   enjoy!”
 * But, I can’t find where I select the archive template.
 * Any advice would be great!
