Applied Montezuma theme. Unable to apply Virtual Template? n00bwarning

Hello

I have applied the Montezuma template to my blog http://apestate.com. I have not modified it in any serious manner yet, just establishing a beach landing here.

My first efforts are toward moving all of the Updates (which were entered during a multi-state bicycle tour) into an archive. My design idea is to put the loop on a pseudo-static page, a child of "My Adventures" which will live in the menu bar. The loop would list posts from the bicycletour2013 category.

Whether or not I actually go that route is beside the point of this question, I just wanted to provide some background.

The problem I'm having is this: When I create or edit a pseudo-static page in wordpress, it gives me the option to select from among Virtual Templates, such as index.php, image, page, single, etc. Instead of a selection taking effect, the setting always reads "Best match based on WP hierarchy."

I would like the change to take effect so I can horse around with templates, would I not?
