I’m am happy to use Magazine Blocks in combination with theme MagazineX. It works fine and stable. And it gives many opportunities in lay-out of the website.
The service from ThemeGrill Helpdesk is also very good. There was an WP-issue with the 1..3.9 update, so I mailed them. It was fixed within a day.
Excellent
