I've been playing around with Wordpress with the aim of creating a magazine themed website that doesn't look too much like a blog. I have very little coding skills but found Wordpress a dream to work with, anyone can have a presentable site with a great CMS for next to nothing and in next to no time. I put together a guide to the theme and widgets I used, all the links and a few tips on using them, you could be set up in an evening: 10 Wordpress magazine theme resources Hope you find it useful!
