Best way to try out new template??

@vasy-

A test environment is always a great way to test...but sometimes isn't practical and can be time consuming to create a copy of an existing web site.

Here's another idea for you. Simply install the snippet code discussed in the thread below and you can use any template you have installed on your current web site by appending the name to the url (e.g. www.mysite.com?template=round). This will use a session variable to be persistent as you navigate your site.

Keep in mind that differences in templates may mean that the site won't work (e.g. if you don't normally use show_menu2 and the test template requires it) or may not display fully (e.g. if you normally use more than one menu or more than one section block but the test template isn't setup to display those). However, it's a quick and easy way to see your site using a variety of templates. It's also a nice approach while you are tweaking one template prior to going live with it.
