Some are good but really hard to configure initially. I like woothemes, one of their templates "canvas" is awesome - easy to totally change everything, highly customisable, I use it for geitners.com | blog.rocketsports.co.uk | jgeitner.com | theentrepreneurnetwork.org!! They actually have amazing customer support also; if you have a problem, if you give them access to the back end they'll just go in and fix it for you. Really good! Thought I'd share that with you!
