I have a custom theme on VB currently, with it's own page template for 
general pages. Of course, I uploaded ALL the files at the same time, 
then activated the theme itself. It all works of course. But from what 
I'm understanding here, when you create a new page template, manually 
upload it to the theme's directory, then decide to use that NEW one... 
it won't work without reactivating the theme right? I could test this 
out once....
