I use the Mentor theme in wordpress. Is not quite like Mashable, but for $40 dollars you can find a great layout that can be really changed through playing with css and html. I have had great feedback with it. Along the same lines, I will try in a few months a new concept of web design that you might want to look into. Is called thegrid.io, it is a new concept and it might bring great things for those of us who do not have that much background in web design.
I have created a new page on Kyoritsu sale. can anyone help me to pay them. thank you so much kyoritsu.us
