Joomla Template Tutorial - Part 4: After create 'embryo' joomla template, now, we try to activate the template. In Joomla, we make this template as default.

1. Login to Joomla as administrator.
2. Click Extensions > Template Manager.
3. You can see template list like below:
   
4. Choose mytemplate by click radio button in front of mytemplate.
   
5. Click Default button on top.
   

Now, when you point your browser to localhost/joomla, you can see 'nothing'. Yup, because template used has changed. Active template is mytemplate. But we don't define anything in this template. So, we just see blank page.
