All theme templates announce a set of events that can be used by plugins to output data at various places on the page. When creating a new theme, you must make sure that it announces all the available template events, so that plugins can do their jobs. For example, Google Analytics plugin listens for the "beforeHtmlBodyEnd" event to output the necessary JavaScript code that it uses to track visitors. If the theme does not announce that event, then Google Analytics plugin will not track visitors on that page.

Because there are many events a page must announce, it is easy to forget some events. To help on that task, Mark Aplet has created an Event Start Template that contains all the events your theme must announce.

Mark Aplet has created a nice theme called Star Gazer. You can read more about it at Mark's blog. I've added it to the admin downloads, but you can also download it from his site. Good job Mark!

I found that there were a couple of issues with the newest skin posted, so I decided to push this update. You'll find the download in your Skins/Themes section in your admin.

I also made changes to the style sheet file, so if you had modified it, you'll need to be careful. To avoid this problem in the future, I added a new style sheet called "custom.css" where you can place all your modifications, and if I update the main css in the future, your changes will be safe.
