WordPress MU

any suggestions?

I am not much into theme developing, so I need a good basic theme, which I will then modify further.

I'd love to get some suggestions of themes, thx.

It really depends on your blog's direction. What's it about? Why not download farm's set of MU-ready themes and check out one or two that suit?

I liek any one of the trendy magazine themes out there. More for the layout being very suitable for the MU aggregate stuff, than the magazine-ness of any of them.

thx for the links.
@andrea :-)
before posting here I stumbled upon revolution and 3 other magazinelike themes but I didn't think about reusing their layout for my own and other functions. you're brilliant. I am off to try that.

Ovidiu: I'm wondering how that worked for you, because I'm thinking of using Revolution News for my front page portal.
