Can’t find “archives” template in PressRow

    I’m trying to quickly set up my website (on a deadline) and I really don’t know much about HTML or creating a website.

    I’ve put about four hours into PressRow, and now I’m ready to create my “archives” and “about” page.

    However, the instructions by the designer (which have been great thusfar) tell me to use the Page Template “archives” in the “write page” tab of WordPress.

    All fine and good, but there is no “archives” template, just “default template.”

    I’m on the verge of tears as I can hear the clock ticking against me.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Resolved for anyone who cares:

    The archives template is there, but it doesn’t display easily in Safari. Just use firefox or type “A” in that pulldown menu and Archives comes up.

    And, on another note, even though the designer tells you not to put anything in the title or body field before you save, that may be a problem. If you do it his way and then go to manage pages and don’t see an unnamed archives page, then you’ll just get a 404 error.

    If you have that problem, go back and reenter the archives template the same way the designer suggests on his blog, but put a single character in the body of the template. I used a period.

    Once I did that, it saved perfectly and teh archives showed up.

    An FYI to noobusers like me.

    I have the same issue… I created a new page via manage, pages, create new page using the archive template.. all seems to be ok but I am still getting a ERROR 403 “page not found” when someone clicks on the archives menu… the Dir archives is there but empty.. Same thing with the About page…. Did I miss something during the install ? Those 2 folders are there (archive and about) but both are empty.
    Many Thanks,
    Steve
