[wp-hackers] how to integrate plugins into theme easily

[Stephen Rider]

That's kind of a broad question -- depends on what your plugin does.   
Still...

Standard themes have hooks in them that you can use -- look at the  
comments section for an example.  Go through the default theme and  
look for things that say do_action() or apply_filter() -- you can  
attach actions that happen when the theme executes those.

However, you can't depend on those completely -- remember that a  
poorly designed (or very custom) theme might not have all the same  
hooks.
