WP Theme Gurus, step inside please
 

I know I sound like a broken record but bear with me. I've been looking for themes for a new NEWS type project. Earlier, I asked about a drudgereport.com type theme. Anyone know if there are EXISTING free or paid themes that are like http://www.huffingtonpost.com/

In particular, I like the digg/social media plugin and also the comment ranked "hot posts" on the right.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/...-posts-plugin/
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/...content-smirc/

If you break Huffington Post down piece by piece, you can rebuild it completely in Wordpress.

If you want, find a design you like that's "news-y" enough for you and hit me up on ICQ and I can make look and function however you want ;) ICQ 565982359
