Hello Everybody.

Here is our task for the week 3. (http://seatomato.com/p2pu/week-3-agenda/)
1. Understand how to create page template: http://seatomato.com/p2pu/template-for-specific-pages/
2. After you finish the tutorials above, create a page template in your twentyten child theme (or in any theme you use).
Publish a page using your own template, and share in your page what you were trying to achieve in the template. 
For example, name the page template "No-sidebar-no-comments-black-background" and make this template with no sidebar, no comments, and with black background. Create a page using your own template. If you want to incorporate other idea into the template, please do so.
3. To achieve that, read the following page. these pages along with #1 Tutorials will be useful for you to create custom templates.  
Please do take a look at them and utilize them for your page template.

* I learned from last office hour that it is a bit difficult to communicate only via chat, and thought we could add skype voice chat with the p2pu's chat. 
Let's see how it works on Monday! Hopefully, it's easier to ask and answer questions. Please find me(tomatoclass) on skype :)

Thank you. 
* If you can post your question on Q&A forum, please do so, so we can use our collective intelligence and also so that I can have more time to prepare as well.
