Maybe something like this in your .emacs or init.el? I just added the 
"target dates" entry; good idea!

;;; Added the following on 2013-08-11; used Sacha Chua's code
;;; for ledger entries as a template
;;; intended for different TODO type of entries

(setq org-capture-templates

;;; tasks todo on a specific date, not appointments
       (append '(("t" "Todo entries")
         ("ts" "Scheduled" entry
              (file "~/Data/Emacs-Files/Org-Files/Bucket.org")
              "* TODO %?%^{What do you want to do?} %i\ SCHEDULED: 
%^{enter a timestamp}t\n\t:OTHERINFO:\n\t\t%^{Enter other pertinent 
info} %i\n\t:END:\n\t\tDate Entered %U\n"
              :empty-lines 1)

         ;; tasks wtih a target date
         ("tt" "Target dates" entry
          (file "~Data/Emacs-Files/Org-Files/Bucket.org")
              "* TODO %?%^{What do you want to do?} %i\ TARGET-DATE: 
%^{enter a timestamp}t\n\t:OTHERINFO:\n\t\t%^{Enter other pertinent 
info} %i\n\t:END:\n\t\tDate Entered %U\n"
              :empty-lines 1)


;; tasks with definite deadlines
         ("td" "Deadline" entry
              (file "~/Data/Emacs-Files/Org-Files/Bucket.org")
              "* TODO %?%^{What do you want to do?} %i\ DEADLINE: 
%^{enter a timestamp}t\n\t:OTHERINFO:\n\t\t%^{Enter other pertinent 
info} %i\n\t:END:\n\t\tDate Entered %U\n"
              :empty-lines 1)

;; plain vanilla task todo's
         ("tt" "PlainTODO" entry
              (file "~/Data/Emacs-Files/Org-Files/Bucket.org")
              "* TODO %?%^{What do you want to do?} %i\ %^{enter a
