"For several years, the predominant blog layout has remained unchanged. Posts, usually shortened to fit neatly, sit on top of each other in descending order, headlines over each post. This creates a “log” feel from which the term “web log” or “blog” came.

However, redesigns at two of the web’s best-known blogs, Techcrunch and Mashable seem poised to shake up the traditional layout, offering slight variations that make the sites appear more like a traditional newspaper.

The trend appears to be spreading. While no hard numbers exist, magazine layouts are among the most popular themes for existing blogs. These themes are generating some of the most hype among bloggers.

Although the design of a blog is not always of particular import, as many readers read the content in an RSS reader, it is still an important consideration. It is one to which many novice bloggers don’t give adequate weight. Choosing the wrong theme can make a site look dated or unprofessional, completely destroying any attempt to modernise one’s web presence.

For those seeking to enter the blogging realm, or to modernise an existing platform, a magazine theme may be a major step in the right direction. "

very useful site for original magazine layouts of classic stories

Slightly out of focus is an on-line shop specialising in vintage, original illustrated magazines featuring the best in 20th century photography and photojournalism.
As collecting original pieces of photography is becoming out of reach for many, collecting the work in context, in it's original form, is a great alternative. All our magazines are in at least very good condition (most are excellent) and are complete with all articles and advertisements.
We stock LIFE, Vu, Picture Post, Illustrated, Colliers, Saturday Evening Post and others. We currently hold a comprehensive selection of Robert Capa magazines, but are adding other photographers regularly. Please e-mail us if you are looking for the work of a particular photographer- we may not have added their work to our website yet.
