Magento Connect continues to gain momentum. Following last week’s announcement of the availability of 50+ payment extensions via Magento Connect, today we are happy to announce the availability of 200+ extensions in total. To date, over 100,000+ extension downloads have been registered. A few additional interesting stats:

• 14 Core Extensions (released by the Magento Team)
• 154 Community Extensions
• 37 Commercial Extensions
• 59 Language Packs Available
• 29 themes (more to come very soon)
• Modern Theme is the most popular extension
• 1 iPhone Theme

We are thrilled to see the community take such an active role in extending Magento platform.

The 'Blank Theme' for Magento is available via MagentoConnect. With 'Blank Theme' the Magento team answers the call of numerous community members out there who's been inquiring about an extra light theme to use as a basis for theme customization. With this theme we've removed all the custom CSS formerly used in Default and Modern Theme, and replaced them with minor typography and positioning CSS assignments. References to the class names were left in the CSS files to provide a solid starting ground for designers/developers. Markups were also revisited and cleaned up in theme-level.

Download, customize, and enjoy the new ultra light Magento theme!
