In theory, there is no limit to the number of skins you can create for your site. If you have created skins for eFiction 1.1, you won't find many differences in 2.0 and 3.0. The number and names of the .tpl files have changed some though in later versions.

Template Variables
Items in curly brackets are variables, i.e. {output} or {authors}. They contains the actual content that will be printed out on the page. You can surround these attributes with any kind of html that you want -- font tags, tables, whatever. Some attributes are required on some of the template pages, and some are optional.
Certain template variables will only be useable on certain pages or within certain blocks while others can be placed anywhere. The page links are among the variables that can be placed anywhere on any page.
