I'm considering buying the News Portal for http://www.enewspf.com
 (http://www.enewspf.com)
I'd like some feedback on my current layout using iJoomla Magazine.

I'd like to perhaps move to a wider, fixed layout, 970px to 1000px, with more room for ads, etc.  I'd also like a brighter template with more white space.

Or, I may do nothing at all.  :D

I'm just considering my options right now.

Any suggestions on making the move to the News Portal from the Magazine component?

Thanks.

This is a good idea for a News Portal with 2 columns.
Your current template is very nice. I like it. Maybe you can make small changes on your banner header.
I suggest you to do the change first and then come back here and ask for a review.  8)
Best regards,

Thank you.  I've worked hard at this template.  It's originally a template called Joomla_Black, available here (http://www.joomlaresource.com/Joomla_News/Joomla_News/Joomla_Black_Template_Released/).

I finally set up a test site here (http://www.shireweb.biz/eNewsPF-Backup/index.php?option=com_magazine&Itemid=1), which I am currently copying over all of my files so it is identical to the live site.  I'll play with the test site.  I'd like to widen the layout and perhaps use a different layout from the Magazine component.  I may go to 970 pixels wide and play with it from that point.

Once this site is identical to my live site, the first thing I'm going to do is update it to Joomla 1.5 and iron out the problems there, then I'll do the major upgrade to the live site.

Your answer is a relief to me.  Thanks for your kind words about my template.  I wasn't looking forward to 20+ hours of styling starting from scratch.  I like the Magazine component a lot.
