New theme supports version 2.3 tagging. (Revisions will be necessary for WP versions previous to 2.3.)
Title tags are already optimized so you won’t need a plugin.
Right-hand sidebar, page navigation at top. Template pages included for easy static front page.
Even better, if you want to nest a phpBB2 forum in your blog using the WP-United mod for phpBB, you won’t need to tweak the style sheet at all. The colors match phpBB’s subsilver template.
An example of the theme in use as a CMS including a forum is here. Theme instructions and download can be found here.
