Note:

Don't forget to set downloaded template as a default, otherwise your old or Joomla default template will be visible at the frontend of your site. To do this, under "Template manager: Styles" window make sure, that gold star is selected on the "Default" column near your downloaded template title.

When I go into my template manager I cannot find a Basic Options block. An Options block is available in the top right but it does not give the option to change the headline. What am I doing wrong?
