 * I have found some excellent themes that I wanted to use as a starting point for
   my website, but 3 of the 4 I have tried say that they are missing a template.(
   Zen minimalist, Mixed bouquet are two.) I do not know what I am doing wrong, 
   but I am getting frustated.

 * You are using a theme called “Very simple” according to your CSS file. The Zen..
   seems hard to find. Maybe you should contact the author of the theme you prefer.
 * Also, you may have had a bad file transfer to your blog.
    You should check to
   see that all files in the theme were uploaded to your server.

 * Check to see if your themes has an index.php at the very least.
 * Then check to see if you haven’t uploaded these themes in Double Folders.
 * ie:
    yoursite -wordpress –wp-content —themes —zen_minimalist —-zen_minimalist
 * Sometimes uploading themes in double folders happens when the extraction occurs
   inside the original downloaded folder. It’s a quick mistake. The css or files
   cannot read through two folders.

 * Thanks.
    I will check for the double folders. I tried contacting the author, 
   but with no luck.
