Gregg, in terms of a template, that's a good idea. But first make your ePub. Format it as you feel is appropriate. Keep a copy of that ePub and you can use it to make a new eBook from that ePub. You can see just what you did and you can see if you may want to make any changes. I think it's better to have the full ePub as your template then it is to have a mostly blank ePub as your template. It's easy enough to remove the content.
