    If you don't see it in the pull down menu, make certain you have includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/template_info.php.
    I just tried that.
    I see the templates but when I try to preview it I get a 404 file not found error, I guess because the screenshot of that color scheme is missing.
    So I tried the Edit button, picked my design and low and behold my site came up. Only problem is, the color scheme is WAY off and the site now fills the entire screen without any side boxes.
    So I guess I'm on the right track but need to find out what files I'm missing from my custom directory.

    Thanks so far.

    When you pick your template, you have to go to Admin/Tools/Layout Boxes
    Controller and hit the reset button to turn the sideboxes on.

    Thanks, that did the trick.
    I'm getting a lot closer now.

    When you change templates, you have to set/reset the sideboxes manually in the admin.
