have not created a new one yet. In the "Save As" box, give your template an original
name that makes sense and you will remember. When you're done, click "Save."
A new folder called "Templates" will be generated for you (it will be inside the folder
where your site files are saved on your computer). The template will have the file
extension of DWT (*.dwt), and will be called whatever you named it in the last box
(for example, "my_layout.dwt").
Uneditable & Editable Regions
Now that you've created a template, you'll want to "define" areas of it as editable
and uneditable. For example, you may have your navigation on the left side of the
page, and body text on the right side of the page, in a table. The navigation for the
site will be the same no matter where on the page you go, so you won't want to
make this an "editable" region. It's very easy to make a section uneditable; simply
don't make it editable!
Now, you'll want to make the portion of the site where body text will go an editable
region, so that when you're ready to work from the template, you can insert your
text into it. Highlight the area you want to be an editable region. Go to the menu bar
and select “Insert,” then “Template Objects” and then “Editable Region.”
