Magfolio from PremiumThemes is a magazine or portfolio style premium Wordpress theme.  The cool thing about this Wordpress theme is that it combines the idea of wanting to showcase the “latest” news and keep a portfolio section as well.  This magazine style theme allows easy customization with a unique back-end control panel and comes packaged with the PSD file so you can change the look and feel easily with the original graphics.

Another thing I really like about this theme is the Twitter feed box built into the home page layout.  I like this because it looks clean and not out of place.  So many themes try to do this but ultimately fail to keep a consistent look.  This is a great looking theme.

Some of the many features include:

• Fully customizable front page with full ability to change the graphics using the theme admin panel
• Custom back-end control panel
• Localization support
• PSD File Included
• Separate “blog” section
• Gravatar and threaded comments
• Fully supported through support forums
• Set up and ready for ads with placeholders in place
• Sidebar fully widget ready with a custom widget

So, what’s the bottom line?
