It can actually handle thousands of indexed pages and be stitched together with a variety of other forum platforms, social media tools, and complex delivery systems. When leveraging multi-user wordpress and having the ability to control and OWN the platform you are using for business projects, it only makes sense to control your own destiny.

You can just grab or have a template made for you and go to town. One key that I found works best is to find the plug-in that allows you to control the front page if you don't want the blog itself on the front page. That way you can have a traditional website with dynamic content (in the sidebar say). It's easy and works great. What more could you ask for?

I think the traditional blog layout of 'the last X posts on the front page' is too restrictive for information based websites. Having a theme such as the ones you mentioned gives you more control over your home page. A front page without too much post text has many benefits: 1) You can more easily include target keywords on your static front page. 2) There's more information for people to look at when they first land at your website - in a traditional blog layout people are just straight into reading the latest post. If the front page is taken up with post content then you can include welcome messages, help and lots of navigation. 3) It looks more like a 'real website'. Many people still don't trust blogs. I think Problogger's new look is a great example of this type of layout. I am in the process of changing my blog to use a more ‘magazine style’ theme like the ones you mentioned.

It's too bad there weren't a couple of free themes highlighted as well. One of the great things about Wordpress is that it’s free and there are a lot of free themes.
