I want to apply branding to a sharepoint 2010 blog site which is a sub site of our internet. I'm trying to achieve this by creating a custom blog site template based on the original blog site template. So I followed the following blog post.
http://www.sharepointbits.com/blog/sharepoint-2010-custom-site-templates.html
And I got a copy of the blog template files from "C:...\14\TEMPLATE\SiteTemplates\blog", modified the files and put in to the "SiteTemplates\" folder.
I can see a new site template has been created but every time when I create a web site based on my custom template it uses the original blog template files for provisioning (for ex: default.aspx).
Is this the correct way to achieve this? Please let me know if I'm doing sth wrong here.
Thanks in advance.
