Mimbo is a classy magazine-style WordPress theme with built-in ad space, thumbnail functionality and an easy to navigate design.
Mimbo was amongst the first free magazine themes released, paving the way for a whole new category of WordPress themes, both free and premium. Although there’s also a premium version of Mimbo, called Mimbo Pro, the free version has been updated considerably since it first launched and remains a worthy member of the magazine-style theme field.

Satorii is a single-column WordPress theme with a minimalist, elegant and clean style.
The theme is built on the back of the well-known Sandbox theme, the Yahoo User Interface CSS and jQuery javascript, which makes it easy to customise or add new features — some of them are automatic zebra tables and automatic FancyBox added to image links, plus a useful reply to comments effect.
Plus, it has everything that a complete WordPress should have: support for tags, galleries and captions, Gravatar, localization (so you can create your own translation editing just one file), an image template, and, of course, widgets.
Satorii has beautiful typography and an extremely well styled comments area. The theme is very flexible and would suit multiple purposes.

The Sirup theme for WordPress features an elegant and functional magazine-style layout; with some tweaking it’d make a gorgeous website.
The styling is distinctive but not particularly attractive out of the box; however, it would be simple to use this theme as a starting point to create your own distinct site, simple by tweaking the colours in its stylesheet.
The theme is fixed-width, features valid code, supports Gravatars and sidebar widgets.
You can customize the appearance of your site with an options page inside the WordPress administration, including:
- Choosing between a magazine or blog layout for the homepage;
- Setting which categories appear on the frontpage;
- Setting the amount of comments / posts / tags to show underneath;
- Choosing whether to have a lead story;
- Setting a default width for thumbnails;
- Changing fonts, sizes etc.
