Where are all other site templates in SharePoint 2010

I was creating a new publishing site collection SP 2010 and noticed that when I click on "Publishing" tab, there were only two available options:


I used "Publishing Portal" template to create my new publishing site. Then my next step was to create a sub site under this site. As always I went to Site Settings, Sites and Workspaces.

Here I had only two templates available to select from. Where are all other templates ???

By default these templates are not added into site templates gallery to make it available while creating sub sites. To change the settings, go to Site Actions, Site Settings. Open "Page Layouts and Site Templates" under Look and Feel.
Here as a administrator you can control the list of templates available to designers and managers with Hierarchy permissions.

In Subsite Template select "subsites can use any site templates":

Click OK and you are done. Now you should be able to create team sites, meeting workspaces etc .
