As far as im aware steps 1-2 are fine. The templaate file i am going to is custom ie named home.phtml. So in page.xml would i need to duplicate the custom page areas to suite as in [code] <page_home translate="label"> <label>All Home Layout Pages</label> <reference name="root"> <action method="setTemplate"><template>page/home.phtml</template></action> <!-- Mark root page block that template is applied --> <action method="setIsHandle"><applied>1</applied></action> <action method="setLayoutCode"><name>home</name></action> </reference> <reference name="sidebar"> <block type="catalog/product_new" name="home.product.new" template="catalog/product/sidebr.phtml" /> </reference> </page_home>[/code] am i missing something?
