So I found the FAQ/tutorial on How do I create a new Custom Template? and followed the directions. But (a) when I checked out my store with the new template, my main_page text was all gone, and (b) I didn't know where to start with creating a totally original style. So I went back to Classic Green (and my main_page came back) and started looking through downloads for custom templates others have created.
I downloaded and extracted the Blue Highlights and Mystic River templates, but now I can't figure out what to do, and the "readme" files don't help. Creating the custom template just involved putting files in one subdirectory and uploading that. The downloadable templates seem to include files that go all over the place, and the instructions sound like I'm supposed to just upload it and the files will figure out where they go. The last time I uploaded directories to existing directories, all my files disappeared and my store was nonfunctional for hours. I'm not going to risk that again.
Am I stuck? Or can I upload new template files just into custom subdirectories?
