WordPress is probably going to add more themes and I’ve suggested the following from http://www.fahlstad.se/dev/ fGrey: http://www.fahlstad.se/dev/index.php?wptheme=fGrey fSpring: http://www.fahlstad.se/dev/index.php?wptheme=fSpring and fUnique http://www.fahlstad.se/dev/index.php?wptheme=fUnique is an excellent 3 column layout as well. Can’t wait.
