   Any ideas? Could even be a commercial one, or free, or whatever.

   A theme that perhaps has a splash page and then a blog section. A wordpress site but looks like a blog on the inside tabs as opposed to the main screen.

   I guess ideally a theme where you say "wow..that does not even look like a WP theme"

   Mainly I want to get the blog off the front page.

   Thanks

   This sort of thing is not theme specific. WordPress has this functionality built in.

   Simply create two new Pages, one where the blog will go and one which will be the front page. Then go to the Settings->Reading screen and set which is which.

   Indeed I do know you can do that. But there are themes that look more like a traditional website and less like a blog. I have seen a few with flash slideshows on the front (like news themes) along with smaller thumbs that link to full blog articles.

   Guess to clarify I am looking for a theme that is more of an overview of the blog entries. Similar to a newspaper, big story and then a few smaller ones. As opposed to one long scrolling blog list of entries or one single page.

   Kind of an example:
   http://www.woothemes.com/demo/freshnews/
   Note how the front page is not a blog, but has big highlights to blog entries inside

   Also
   http://www.revolutiontheme.com/
   http://quommunication.com/

   These are examples..although non of which really grab me. But hopefully you can seen what I am thinking

   You pretty much have to redesign the site with CSS as there is no theme that really looks like a website.

   I redesigned our site with WP to look more like a corporate site. I haven't bothered integrating a blog yet though.

   Let me know what you think: http://www.design-studio.com

   design-studio looks great..I would never have guessed its WP

   I am looking at one-theme..yes..this is the type I am looking for. Others like that would be cool

   BTW I am looking for a template..even paid..just because I don't want to do CSS or extensive customizing. The beauty of WP is I just plug the theme in and go. Otherwise I would just design a website from scratch in html
