i love magazine themes. i love them best when they are used appropriately. I’ve noticed that the ppl who are hip to mag style themes have the least amount of content. and conversly, the ppl with waay too much content have no idea what a mag style theme is.

i also agree that sense magazine style is the latest trend there have been hundreds of look alikes which makes it fustrating when you’re looking for quality and originality.

I am currently working on a site that uses a magazine theme. My aim is to make it, rather than a typical blog, actually a portal…the possibilities with WP and these themes are endless and it can only be good for blogging as a whole.

The classic ‘list style’ blog has by no means lost it’s place however, it’s just magazine themes are more suited to other audiences.

I loved the idea of a word press magazine style theme and my Tech guy suggested it for my other website he is going to give a face lift to. He showed me one I forget the name of it but it was fantastic. I was not sure about it for my blog though because of the layout.

Amazing how much your post mirrors a lot of my recent thinking. I am attracted to some magazine themes because of their design, but keeping up a mag theme in a ‘personal’ blog often doesn’t work. When utilized in the proper context magazine themes are both practical and pleasing.

The proliferation of magazine style themes has also started to where the style thin, with copycats and look-alikes in profusion. Rare is the original magazine theme these days. Their success, whether as free or premium themes, has so many jumping on the bandwagon that minimalism is going to come screaming back and the blog may just get personal again.
