Hi Everyone,
I needed a bilingual "magazine-style" theme for a journalism project. None of the existing ones I found did exactly what I needed so I wound up building a new theme completely from scratch. It was a lot of work but it does what I want (and I learned a lot).
Take a look and tell me what you think. Comments and suggestions are most welcome:

Major aspects of the site are built using:
Blueprint CSS Framework
Customized version of "Language Switcher" plugin by Jennifer Hodgdon
Customized "Smoothgallery" slideshow by JonDesign
Yahoo UI Tabview control
Customized versions of "Email" and "Print" plugins by Lester Chan

Very nice! Did you build the theme yourself?

Thanks for the reply. Yes. I built the theme COMPLETELY from scratch. I created the grid layout in CSS first and then added in all the functionality and styling, etc. Graphic design is not my strong point but functionality is exactly how I want it - and it's all bilingual (which took a lot of work). In my first post above I also forgot to mention the the "Subscription" page is a highly customized frontend of PHPlist that I made to exactly match my WP theme. I wanted the site to be completely intergrated from a theme and UI perspective.
