Add a site template to Central Administration so it's available when you create a new site collection
When you create a new site collection, Central Administration creates a top level site and offers you the standard set of templates for that top level site.
If you want to add a custom template to the list of templates offered by Central Administration, simply:
From the command prompt, use STSADM -O ADDTEMPLATE:
stsadm.exe -o addtemplate -filename filename -title "friendly name" -description "description"
Type stsadm -help addtemplate for details.
Then restart IIS by typing iisreset.
