I made a site definition and I have multiple configurations. But when I try to create a subsite, and I look under the SharePoint Customizations tab for Template Selection. I only see `MyPublishingPage` and not `MyPublishingPage2` or `NewWeb`. Why is my third and first one not showing in the list?

Thanks

 The 'NewWeb' configuration (-1) is special and never shows up in the web template list.  But did you register both of your other configurations in a WEBTEMP.xml file?  If not, only the one you registered will show.  Here's an article about webtemp.xml files:

Ur right, I didn't register them in the webtemp. After I did that, and then I had to enable them in the site settings > site template too. Then it worked.
