Well I have this page that needs to look slightly different from the rest of the site.
I’m not sure, but before I’m pretty sure all I needed to do was make a copy of the template page.php, change it, rename it
Then when I create a page, in the boxes on the right hand side (page slug, page order etc) there used to be a page template option where you can choose from a drop down list.
Hope that’s better info.
Cheers,
Steve
