Drupal has perhaps one of the most misunderstood reputations within web design. It is generally thought of as an overblown and hard to learn CMS that is aimed only towards large corporate/business websites. Yes, it can handle very large and complex websites, but the truth is Drupal can be used effectively for any type of website, from blogs, personal portfolios, community driven sites, and, as we have already mentioned, large corporate, business and government sites as well. It is a remarkable CMS.
We haven’t published anything related to Drupal in a while, so this post is long overdue.

You will love the varied selection of beautiful themes we have for you below.

Drupalizing Themes
Drupalizing is a resource that allows you to suggest (and download) your favorite WordPress themes' port to Drupal. Just visit the site, drop in the WordPress theme's link and name, and if your suggestion is appealing enough, that particular WordPress theme will be ported to Drupal by the Drupalizing guys.
The only catch is that only GPL licensed themes can be ported (you know the drill, copyright issues etc.)! So far, four themes have been ported: JournalCrunch, Bluemasters, Magazeen Lite and ImpreZZ, you can view them below:
