Hey people - I had just figured out how to do this, and then I ran across this thread. At first it was very confusing but then I realized everyone was using older versions of Magento.
Here is how to do it, based on This Link I found some of the instructions confusing, so I have rewritten them here:
1) Navigate to app/code. Create the following directories, one inside the other: local > Mage > Page > etc
2) Navigate to app/code/core/Mage/Page/etc . Copy “config.xml” to the local/Mage/Page/etc folder you created.
3) Navigate to app/design/frontend/YOURINTERFACE/YOURTHEME/template/page. For our example, make a copy of 1column.phtml and rename it to whatever you choose (my-new-theme.phtml or whatever). Don’t delete 1column.phtml, just make a copy of it in this folder.
4)Open the config.xml file you created in local on step 2. Around line 47, beneath the <layouts> tag, add the following:
<your_layout_name module="page" translate="label">
<label>Description name here</label>
<template>page/the-name-of-the-file-you-created-here.phtml</template>
<layout_handle>a_descriptive_handle_name</layout_handle>
</your_layout_name>
5) Open app/etc/modules/Mage_All.xml. Around line 41-47, you should find the following:
<Mage_Page>
<active>true</active>
<codePool>core</codePool>
<depends>
<Mage_Core />
</depends>
</Mage_Page>
Change
<codePool>core</codePool>
to
<codePool>local</codePool>
6) Upload your files, delete/refresh the cache. Your file should now show up in the CMS.
