this isn't my site but belongs to andy stewart, a member of the core team at joomla. i thought i'd post it here so you can see what is possible with a rockettheme template. he is using internet gazette and it's not just a good looking site!
I love the header graphics. This guy is clearly very talented at graphic design. However...
I really don't like the content layout. I think the main content area is too wide for such small text. Maybe if he changed the font size and spread out the text a little more with some line-height/margin/padding changes in the css.
Just my opinion. I've been known to be wrong before.
