Hello all,

I am a graphic artist with very limited developer skills (although I am addressing this!) so go gently with me...

I have created a custom theme from my own HTML and CSS and all works great. however how do I assign a page type to a particular template.php file?

eg. I have default.php (full width page). I also have sidebar.php (no explanation needed) which I would like to use for all pages except the home page which uses default.php.
Currently all my pages adopt the code from default.php

Could someone point me in the right direction?

many thanks

Pete.
