magazine style themes

A good magazine style theme can turn a pretty dull blog into a professional, readable, valuable website. It does this through two main factors.

A The layout is more digestibe to a wider audience of non blog reading web surfers. By looking like a ‘normal’ website it scares less people.

B The layout is normally far more dependent on standardised and good quality images. This forces the author to focus on good quality images - lifting the standard of that important first impression.

A quick word of warning though - these themes often require the use of custom fields. This means that you need just a little more technical confidence than with some blog themes. For this reason I’d always recommend installing these on a test blog first.

The themes Here are a few of the better magazine themes out there. Far from a comprehensive list, this isn’t smashing magazine! Add your favorite to the comments if I haven’t covered it.
