I am attempting to create my own theme, I wanted the login block horizontally across the top of the page I got it to work as shown here http://drupal.org/node/92657#comment-1612166. I then wanted to make a custom region above the header to put this in, I created the region in the mystupidtheme.info cleared the cache and went to admin/build/block and the region shows (but the yellow bars that show where each region is, there is not one for the new custom region). If I put the login block in top_login_bar region it doesn't show even after clearing cache and loging out. If I move it back to header it works fine. Here are snippets of the files I am using.

mystupidtheme.info

name = My Stupid theme
description
engine = phptemplate
version = VERSION
core = 6.x
stylesheets[all][] = css/style.css
regions[top_login_bar] = Top Login Bar
regions[header] = Header
regions[content] = Content
regions[left] = Left Sidebar
regions[right] = Right Sidebar
regions[footer] = Footer

page.tpl.php

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="<?php print $language->language ?>"
  lang="<?php print $language->language ?>" dir="<?php print $language->dir ?>">

<head>
  <?php print $head; ?>
  <title><?php print $head_title; ?></title>
  <?php print $styles; ?>
  <?php print $scripts; ?>
  <script type="text/javascript"><?php /* Needed to avoid Flash of Unstyled Content in IE */ ?> </script>
  
</head>
<body>
<!-- loginbar starts -->
<div id="loginbar">
  <?php print $top_login_bar; ?>
  <?php print $user_bar; ?>
</div>
<!-- header starts -->

the module I created for the horizontal user login

<?php

function login_bar_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
  if ($form_id == 'user_login_block') {
    // To change the default Username to Gamer:
    $form['name']['#title'] = t('Gamer');
    // To change the "Create new account" to Register Now!"
    $items[] = l(t('Register NOW!'), 'user/register', array('title' => t('Create a new user account')));
    // To change the "Request new password" to "Forgot Password?"
    $items[] = l(t('Forgot Password?'), 'user/password', array('title' => t('Request new password via email.')));
    $form['links'] = array('#value' => theme('item_list', $items));
  }
}

Is this normal or did I break the theme and/or my drupal install?
