# Template vs Form?

 * I just started trying UM out today. I’m somewhat confused about the nomenclature.
   I see the Forms link and can set up my own form (say, a registration form). Under
   UM>Appearance>Registration Form it lists _Templates_, not _Forms_. How do I make
   my Template into a Form? Or do I ignore this? I’m confused.
 * Also, what’s the difference between a User and an Account?
 * Thanks for anyone’s help.

 * You can ignore this. Templates is just for advanced use only.
 * The user page displays the user profile. Account page shows the account shortcode.
 * Thanks

 * Thanks. I bet you hate newbie questions. 🙂
 * I am looking forward to buying the package of extras, if I can get it working
   right. 🙂
