I would like to have a similar look on the first page as the magazine theme (see image at http://bavotasan.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/mag4.jpg ) where the first post is one wide column and the following posts are divided into two columns per row.

I guess it's something I could do bu altering the functions.php file but a bit more help or instructions is needed (I'm still quite a newbie when it comes to coding WP).

Hi gnurf,

You'll need to alter the index loop to do a magazine theme layout. The thematic_index_loop function in located here: themes/thematic/library/extensions/content-extensions

First remove thematic's function:
```
function remove_index_loop() {
     remove_action('thematic_indexloop', 'thematic_index_loop');
}
add_action('init','remove_index_loop');
```
Now you build your own loop to achieve your desired magazine layout:
```
function child_index_loop() {
     // your loop goes here
}
add_action('thematic_indexloop','child_index_loop');
```
