I actually read your tutorial before and they were definitely the most 
useful of the lot.  But I don't think I'm explaining my problem correctly.

Here's what I'm doing:
I have a bright new site.  I created a new page using Typo3 and added 
text and images to the content.  When I browse to my site, it complains 
that there is no template.  So I go and use the Template Wizard to 
create a new template and I end up with Hello World instead of what I 
entered into my new page.  How do I make Typo3 simply display what I've 
entered earlier?

Thanks.
