The more I "fiddle" with these templates, the more I'm understanding them. It was the initial learning curve that just had me confused b/c it wasn't what I was looking for. I think I understand all you're speaking of now, though. Thanks for your great help Karen! I'll be seeing you on here a lot w

I think I'm starting to see the point of extends now, as I had been assuming it was equivilant to the php include statements. What I'm assuming extends is for now is to always have "base" files from which to extend. You create particular layouts from which children inherit the parents overall temp
