Templates

After a successful upgrade from WSS 2.0 to 3.0 - I am trying to add templates to site. Adding the templates seems to work however when I try to create a new page using them they are not available to select from. Below are the steps I followed to add the templates and how I am trying to access them. Everything below works except for "Selecting the Application Template" when creating a new site - they are not available to select.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

To upload the extracted template files to the WSS 3.0 server

1.

In a browser window, open the top-level WSS 3.0 site where you want to upload the extracted templates, and then clickSite Settings.

2.

On the Site Settings page, underGalleries, clickSite templates.

3.

On the Site Template Gallery page, clickUpload.

4.

On the Upload Template page, clickUpload Multiple Files.

5.

On the Upload Document page, in the left pane, navigate to the location where you saved the templates.

6.

In the right pane, select the check box next to each template you want to upload, and then clickOK.

7.

On the Site Template Gallery page, to change the name, title, or description of the template, click theEdit icon next to the template title.

8.

On the Edit Item page, change the default value in theName,Title, orDescriptionbox, and then clickOK.

The templates are uploaded and appear in the site template gallery.
