A lot of bloggers today are using Magazine Styled Themes (MST) for their blogs nowadays. Myself included. These themes were originally used only by serious bloggers because maintaining these was a lot of work. But today you can find good free MSTs which require very little work and therefore, casual bloggers are also adopting them.
The problem is that these themes require your blog to have a lot of content and not only that but also a lot of different content. Casual bloggers using these themes tend to lose focus in trying to keep up with the various sections that require their attention and hence really end up mugging the whole thing.
On the other hand, a MST may also motivate a casual blogger to upgrade and become a more not so casual blogger. It may also motivate them to explore new topics to post about and new place to write about.
So how many of you have tried MSTs and what did you end up using ultimately?
