Hi create YouThemeName folder and put it in /site/all/themes/. In theme folder create file YouThemeName.info and insert it:

name = YouThemeName
description = YouThemeDescription.
package = Core
version = VERSION
core = 7.x
// Regions 
regions[header] = Header
regions[content] = Content
regions[footer] = Footer

And you new template is ready. For more inforamation please visit Drupal.org and read documentation.

Looks like you want to override some Drupal template? As of Drupal 7.33 there is theme debug mode, to enable just add row to your settings.php: $conf['theme_debug'] = TRUE; and then just open page for which you want to override template and open developer tools there(Use Ctrl+Shift+I (or Cmd+Opt+I on Mac)), you will see something like this http://take.ms/XOXZt and can identify which template to create and how to call it, more you can read here https://www.drupal.org/node/1089656

Creating custom template in drupal is super easy, you can create a file name like node--[type|nodeid].tpl.php and place it in templates folder of your theme. Remaining drupal does the magic, your can do your stuffs in the custom template file. Similar way to create for custom block tempalte file too.
