Introduction
There are two types of templates, the Site Templates and Administrator Templates.
The Site Templates control the appearance of the Front-end of your Joomla! web site, whereas
the Administrator Templates control the Back-end Administration area of the Joomla! web site.
 Note: All reference to Template Manager [Site] refers equally to Template Manager
[Administration] as well
The Template Manager provides a workbench for installing and manipulating templates. The
initial view provides you with a list of the installed templates (Site or Administrator).
A green tick
will be shown adjacent to the name of the currently published template. Some
supplied information about each template is also shown.
Templates can be assigned to different parts of your site, much like Modules can. If you have
several templates installed on your Joomla! system, you can take advantage of all of them. You
are able to assign a template to a specific page(s).
Template HTML and CSS files can be edited as well.
