For the ONA people, you might check out some of the resources referred to in section 3, "Magazine Style WordPress Themes" of this Smashing Magazine post: 100 Excellent Free WordPress Themes http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2008/01/08/100-excellent-free-high-quality-wordpress-themes/ I haven't used any of them, but some of them look promising.

Are you thinking abt deploying a WooTheme? I'm still banging on the two I paid for, hoping that somehow I can get them to do what they're supposed to. I was hoping to be able to recommend them to ONA members looking to start their own hyperlocal news sites. Ah.

And forget about migrating the content from your current theme! Their stuff LOOKS pretty, but in practice it is totally useless. They direct you to their forums - where you have the lovely privilege of getting insulted by their moderators. For this, you are risking your rep with your readers? Hope they paid you well for the link... The prob w the Woothemes is that the documentation is almost non-existent. And forget about migrating the content from your current theme!
