Templates Won't Update

Hi, I know I need to learn CSS and am hot on the trail but need to get a simple
site up today. Old time templates always worked till now.

here's what I've done:
Created a page design in html.
Saved as template
created more pages from the template with editable regions. The ditable
regions appear on all the new pages.
I made further desing in the form of links on the index.dwt and saved. When
prompted I say yes update.

No updates

I then open index.dwt and use the Modify>template>update pages. None are noted
in the log and no changes appear.

I then have tried clicking library options and using the individula html pages
to attach them back to the template but no change.

Any quick hints?

I'll post the site here, warts and all...

Here are seven common mistakes that will result in changes not propagating
from Template to child -

1. Rename the Templates folder
2. Move the Templates folder to some other folder level in the site other
than root level
3. Move a template out of the Templates folder.
4. Make changes to an editable region of the Template (which will not
propagate)
5. Assume that Template changes will be effected by just uploading the
changed Template file to the server without also uploading the changed local
files
6. Corrupt the site cache so that the link between Template and child page
is broken
7. Improperly create your child pages by simply opening the Template,
adding page specific content, and resaving the Template with an *.html
extension rather that its *.dwt extension. (you can tell if this is the case
by looking at the code on a child page - if you see anything like <!--
TemplateBeginEditable... then this is what you have done). If you *have
done this*, then recreate the child pages (in DWCS3) using FILE | New > Page
from Template, select the Template and click CREATE.

The 6th problem can be repaired by using SITE | Advanced > Recreate Site
Cache, and the six others can be fixed by just not doing them. Have you
done any of those?

My number one guess would be that you don't have your templates in a folder named "Templates" at your site root.

Is it the editable regions you're expecting to update? On reading and
re-reading that's what it sounds like to me - in which case they *won't*
update.

Sorry if I've misunderstood.
