Custom page template not showing properly, something overriding its design

Hi,

I’m using the Misty WordPress theme (see here: http://www.freethemelayouts.com/showcase/misty-wordpress-theme/).

For the longest time now, I have tried to create a customized page template for a Tribute section on my automotive blog. I have followed the codex instructions to T and managed to set everything up properly, using the same codes (design) as the index page (I want it to look like the index page). However, the Tribute page looks nothing like the the index page. Something seems to be overriding the page design, but I can’t seem to determine what.

Take a look at the index page: http://www.autotribute.com/
Take a look at the tribute page: http://www.autotribute.com/tributes/

Your help will be appreciated.
