Q. What is the difference between templates and uploading?
If you are a novice at web programming then the templates are for you. They allow you to create a homepage without writing a single line of code. The designs for the templates are set in advance and only some options have to be chosen for the page to be created.
Now, if you are a advanced user and know how to create your own HTML files then you would requre the upload option. The upload option simply put is a facility by which you can transfer files on your local hard disk to your account(ie. onto the net)

The reason could be that the options in the filemanager may be set to 'only html files' or 'only folders'. Clicking on either 'All files' link or the 'Only images' link should show the image files as well.

Q. Can i upload zipped files?
Q. How do i unzip the files i have uploaded?
Yes, you can upload zipped files to your directory. But you cannot unzip the file online ie. on the net itself. These files have to be downloaded(saved to your disk) and then unzipped. Zipped files are a good way of distributing a lot of data over the net.
