Joomla Blog override not working

I have a joomla 8.2 site which I want to put a blog category override in.

It's been a while since I've done this but I thought I'd set it up correctly:

I copied components->com_content->views->category->tmpl->blog.php to

mytemplate->html->com_content->category->siteblog.php

when I go to: menu and create a category blog and I look in options for choose layout I don't see the alternative layout. I'm obviously missing something :(

Can someone help!

You should use the Template - Styles - Overrides function to create the override, then just change the overridden layout you don't even need to rename it if you don't need both layouts (original and modified). - Riccardo Zorn

Since it is a new layout, not overriding the existing blog.php, you can leave it in components/com_content/views/category/tmpl/ but you need to upload a siteblog.xml as well.
