[support] Newbie PHPTemplate / Drupal Templating Question

[Justin Gruenberg]

That is not how it works. A template themes content that drupal drupal
has in its database. If you want a page with more or less static
content, create a node of type page in drupal and then theme
page.tpl.php. Using the devel module can give you a good idea of what
files to change to modify the look of your site.
