Magazine Style blogs have become quite popular because they are excellent for providing a lot of information in a structured and easy to digest way. With good magazine themes WordPress is turned into a quite powerful publishing monster making one man capable of running an entire professional looking online magazine. This post gives you an overview of more than 50 of the best magazine style themes for WordPress. Take a look and pick one to get your Online Magazine started.
Some of the themes listed in this post are premium and as such we promote products. However the themes have been picked only because they are good and worth using for building an online magazine.
If you are new to WordPress or simply would like to improve your skills I recommend that you take a closer look at one of these books. While there are tons of tutorials and guidelines available on the Internet I personally think a good old fashion book is the best way to really get on top of a new area.
Beginning WordPress 3 (released August 9, 2010) is a complete guide for the beginning developer who wants to start using WordPress. You’ll learn how to publish and manage online content, add media, create widgets and plugins, and much more. This is a good book to get started and with its 432 pages you will get into most corners of WordPress.
WordPress For Dummies, 3rd Edition (released August 9, 2010) is the best-selling guide to WordPress and it has been fully updated for newest version of WordPress. It covers all the basics needed to get started with WordPress, but also goes into details with things you need to know for using WordPress for serious blogging or as a CMS. Great book!

Get a WordPress template for free…then commit lots of time for the next couple of years everyday by posting daily content and voilah! eventually you will start making money assuming you don’t quit beforehand.
Thanks for posting!
@Phelan, thanks for you feedback. Yes I guess you’re right – it will take a lot of time before it is time to make money on blogging. Problem is that too much time is spent on writing leaving too little time for thinking and planning for creating a business. To have a business you need to sell something besides a few banners…
wow – what a long list of great Wordpress designs. Love it. It looks like there is something for every taste here.
@Ultimate, thanks…Yes you should be able to find a few you like

This is a great list, there are more than 1 theme that liked but I feel that zenko magazine theme is the best.
I agree with you that zenko magazine is awesome. Generally I would say that WPZOOM is the leader in the Magazine Theme category
