I want to customize the front page, using the page-front.tpl.php (and page.tpl.php) method. I placed both files in the root directory of my child theme. However, the edits to page-front.tpl.php do not appear after a clear the cache. A look at the page's source via browser does not include my edits. Where should I place these files -- there is a templates/ subdir in the child directory, which contains many other .tpl.php files. However, moving the page-front.tpl.php and page.tpl.php into the templates/ subdir doesn't seem to make a difference.

I'm not sure what the answer is as i have never quite seen a problem like this. Are you certain that you are set to the sub theme and not the base Blueprint theme?

Did you try clearing the cache after you moved the files to the new templates sub directory?
