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.
