I've been test driving a few magazine themes for WordPress in hopes of redesigning my main site. I'm currently using a Joomla! template on that site, but I really like WordPress. Since I have a variety of content on that site, I think a magazine-style theme would work well.
I purchased a couple of premium themes, Block Magazine (see screenshot) and Premium News. I also downloaded the free themes Mimbo and WP-Polaroid.
I'm still trying to figure out how they work but I haven't had much time to go through the how-to information. Maybe this week. I have several WordPress sites, so once I figure it out, I may use several of the themes. I'd like to use Block Magazine on this site. I think I like it the best, but so far my thumbnail images are too big, even though I've sized them to the 64X64 pixels required by the theme. Or at least I thought I did. I'm sure I've done something wrong. When you see the theme on this site or my main site change, then you'll know I figured out how to make it work.
