Good Question!
I think when people talk of templates, they are often talking of different things but using the same word. The "bad" template would be those cheesy photoshop or other templates just throw together and you simply change the text and and maybe add a logo and put text on the 3-4 pages and you're done. Truthfully, the BEST designers use templates.

Template by THIS definition would simply be the "outline" html, tables or div tags setup for teh header, menu, body and footer as well as any dynamic or javascripts needed. THEN using CSS or other design techniques this template can be made to look 100 different ways.

Steve uses a "BLOG" or "CMS" system called WordPress, also called an online publishing system and yes, wordpress comes with 3-4 templates which you CAN tweak. People who use this program are often more concerned with the "writing" content vs. uniqueness of design, etc. Even mine looks pretty similar!
