New template

Hello!
I am in the process of creating a template to match my site.
I have cloned all of the relevant folders under "/default " and renamed to my template.
My question is: how do I instruct the script to look for my template name as opposed to the "default" template?

I realize that I could rename the "default" folder, but I would prefer to keep that intact for updates, etc.

Thank you!

Just copy the default folder to your template name folder and edit within the new folder and select it from admin.

I can't believe I missed that option in the Admin area.

It is now reflecting my template name, but is still pulling the stylesheet from the "default" folder.

Please advise, thank you.

Got it.
I located the path to the stylesheet in the layout.tpl file and made the necessary changes.
Hope this helps someone in the future.
