If you still have the presentation using that template, open it in Slide
Sorter view, do a Ctrl+A to select all the slides, and press Delete. Go back
into Normal view, and you should see a message which says "Click to insert
new slide" go a head an click it should bring up a Title slide template. Now
what you do, Under file, select the Save As option, and select PowerPoint
template (.POT) give it a name and PowerPoint will point to the correct
place to store you template. Once you OK this your good to go using this
template anytime you want.

I did the slide sorter view, ctrA, pressed delete. When I went into normal
view, clicked on "click to insert new slide," it brought up another template.
I even completely went out of power point and back in. I don't know what to
do to get my template that I want.

When you clicked for the new slide, it should have the same parameters as
the file you deleted all the slides from. What template did it bring up?
There is a chalk template which you can download here.
