 * Hi Gangleri
 * The following is the Codex example…
 * [**Creating Your Own Page Templates**
 * The files defining each Page Template are found in your Themes directory. To 
   create a new Custom Page Template for a Page you must create a **file**. Let’s
   call our first Page Template for our Page snarfer.php. At the top of the snarfer.
   php file, put the following:
 * <?php
    /* Template Name: Snarfer */ ?>
 * The above code defines this snarfer.php file as the “Snarfer” Template. Naturally,“
   Snarfer” may be replaced with most any text to change the name of the Page Template.
   This Template Name will appear in the Theme Editor as the link to edit this file.]
 * So, my question is…how do I create a file and then have it appear in the Theme
   Editor?
 * Or if I use notepad and save, do I then FTP that file???
 * Thanks

 * Hey I’m in the same boat…my daughters away at school,so I am really struggling
   now because I can’t grab her when I need her for some advice.But maybe I can 
   offer a little insight.
 * If you have a few domains, a host and you have found WordPress … that’s a great
   beginning. And besides that you have discovered and realize that you need the
   FTP utility in order to transfer info from the hard drive on your computer to
   your WordPress blog.
 * Now when you open the FTP program all the info from your hard drive should automatically
   be displayed, next you need to connect to your hosted account at WordPress. So,
   one pane has the hard drive info, the next pane should be blank … you need to
   click the blank pane in order to create a remote connection. Now if you already
   set-up the FTP program, after establishing that link the file that you created
   when you set up the account should appear in the blank pane. Click the file name
   and press connect and a list of everything that has been saved will show up.
 * Next click **wp-content**,click **themes**. So now, on the remote pane you well
   have the category **themes** visible, next you should go back to your hard drive
   side and search your **file listings** until you locate the themes that you previously
   downloaded, next you click one of them. Find the arrow or whatever tool your 
   FTP program has for transferring a file from one pane to the next and click it.
 * Wait until it loads, then you need to log into wordpress ‘what-ever-your-site-
   name-is.com/wp-admin’ and click the ‘design/theme tab’ and your theme should 
   be visible.
 * I hope there is something here that will make your journey easier…
 * Have A Great Day … 8o)
