Hi, I would like to know how the default blog template imported in a WP app can be replaced by a customized version. In my current WP app, I created an enhanced blog template "Blog2" (blog2.php) following the instructions in the FAQ section cc. mixing static front page and post display (http://goo.gl/KVt2aX).

The default bog template included in my Artisteer import folder works fine. Problem: How can this blog template be replaced with custom "Blog2"? For example, for menu category links, the posts are formatted with the default blog template. Currently, my work-around is to add a page and specify in the attribute section "Blog2" as template. Is there a clever trick to make such a substitution or some sort of a central "hub" where the code could be modified (ie. functions.php, archives.php, home.php, index.php,..)? TIA.
