Hi David,

I wanted to say thanks for this great post. My blog has a bit of a small content area.. about 500px and I wanted to make a special page for search results to properly fit the google search code without changing the rest of the site. I was looking all over and came across your info. I followed your instructions, added a quick few lines of css to the stylesheet and bang… done. While others made this seem very complicated, I was almost afraid to try your solution because it seemed too easy, but worked like a charm

Thanks again…

Hi,

I have done everything what you said and new template is working. But when I log out from wordpress, it is using orginal default template, that is, page.php. Why is so? I am working on wamp on my PC. Could anyone tell where I am wrong.

Super Dave! Very concise. Thank you!

Now I will finally be able to get rid of that annoying title at the top of my pages that just repeats the name of the page.

Great stuff for a short tutorial. It looks to me like you’ve included everything needed (minus the cussing I might engage in) for a new look on my blog.

That’s a good point about right or left margin clutter…especially when making a sales presentation. Sometimes we think noise looks cool and maybe so but it only serves to distract from the sale.

Thanks for this useful explanation of what to remove in Wordpress pages.
Other instructions I’ve seen take 5 times as much space to say the same thing.
Cheers, Eric G.

I’m building a blog about my travels in Europe. This will help enormously. Your advice is much appreciated.
