So I read through http://drupal.org/node/193318 following step by step. I have copied over STARTERKIT and renamed the theme as necessary placing it in the sites/all/themes path.

The problem that I am having is that I want to make a custom page.tpl.php so I can get rid of the navigation region. I tried copying the file over to the folder and that didn't work. I tried editing the .info file and placing a ;regions[navbar] = navigation bar but that didn't update either. Was there a step or process that I miss or something I am not understanding?

After you've copied the file page.tpl.php inside your subtheme folder, unenable your subtheme and choose other theme, then enable your subtheme and set it as default.
It seems the page.tpl.php the subtheme is going to use is cached somehow and the theme needs to know that there is a new page.tpl.php to be considered.

good luck!!!

if it is caching, you can go to administer -> performance and clear the cache
