13. In the Save As dialog box, select a site in which to save the template.
14. In the File Name box, type a name for the new template. You do not need to append a file extension to the name of the template. When you
click Save, the .dwt extension is appended to the new template, which is saved in the Templates folder of your site.
Avoid using spaces and special characters in file and folder names and do not begin a filename with a numeral. In particular, do not use
special characters (such as é, ç, or ¥) or punctuation (such as colons, slashes, or periods) in the names of files you intend to put on a
remote server; many servers change these characters during upload, which will cause any links to the files to break.
