 * Hi there. When I activate the plugin I see the following three errors at the 
   top of my dashboard.
 *     ```
       Warning: touch() [function.touch]: Unable to create file ../wp-content/themes/casual/das-default-template.php because No such file or directory in /home/u5671486/public_html/stuff/plugins/design-approval-system/includes/das-functions.php on line 219
   
       Warning: file_get_contents(../wp-content/plugins/design-approval-system/templates/slickremix/das-slickremix-template.php) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/u5671486/public_html/stuff/plugins/design-approval-system/includes/das-functions.php on line 220

       ```
   
 * Can you help because I would love to try this out. What a fantastic idea for 
   a plugin!!!

 * This usually happens when your running a theme or multisite that does not have
   the basic structure of most themes. The solution generally is to copy the file
   to your theme folder manually. We are hoping in the near future to find a solution
   to this problem.

 * The file you want to copy is in our plugin folder and it is called das-default-
   template.php just add that to your current theme folder. Hopefully that helps.

 * found the contents of the das-default-template.php in svn but it does not help
   me.
 * What i did notice during watching the video is that im missing some custom template
 * where in the movie it shows some custom templates i have This theme has no available
   custom post templates.
