			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>David Risley dot com shows us how to create a custom page template in our wordpress themes.&nbsp; This can be very handy if you are trying to create a custom look for a particular page.&nbsp;&nbsp; Like for instance, say you want a wordpress landing page without any sidebars well, this would be a tutorial you definitely want to take a look at:</p>
<p>All WordPress themes have a file called <em>page.php</em>. This is your template file for all pages you have on your blog (remember, pages are distinctly different than posts). The <em>page.php</em><br />file is your default page template. To create a new one, just open that<br />file in any text editor <img style="max-width: 800px; float: right; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px;" src="http://www.livelylinks.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/custom-page-template.png" />then “save as” a different file name. In my<br />case, I named the template for my sales page <em>signup_page.php</em>.</p>
<p>
<p>Now, at the very top of this new file, you’re going to want a block of PHP code as follows:</p>
<blockquote><blockquote>
<p>/*</p>
<p>Template Name: [your page name here]</p>
<p>
<p>*/</p>
<p>?&gt;</p>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<p>This is a PHP comment. Leave the “Template Name:” in place, but you<br />need to change the name of the page. Once you have done that, upload<br />this new file to your blog theme’s folder.
<p>Then, in WordPress, when you go to add or edit a page, scroll way<br />down and you’ll see a setting for “Page Template”. You should see your<br />new page template listed in the dropdown, using the name you entered<br />above. To the right, you can see what my dropdown list looks like in my<br />own WordPress admin panel. I have many different custom page templates<br />in my system, all for different purposes.</p>
