 * Below is exactly what I have in my php file, which I named it home.php.
 *     ```
       <?php
       /*
       Template Name: Home
       */ ?>
   
       Go to this <a href="http://www.cnn.com">external site</a> or <a href="mygreatsite.com">Proceed</a>
       ```
   
 * I haven’t changed the links yet as I wanted to get it working first.
 * Thanks.

 * Thanks for your reply Dandy!
 * I have created the php file and dropped it to the root of my theme’s directory.
   However, it is not showing up as an option under the Template dropdown.
