(Not sure where to fit this post.)
Hi all. I am creating a new site. For this site I am trying to move start with WordPress instead of Joomla. Obviously this brings some requirements and expectation.
These are my requirements:
-sidebar on the left side (for ad sense and popular posts, facebook etc)
-free template(for now at least)
-responsive design
The default Twenty Fourteen is pretty close but I have some issues with it
-the left menu is too narrow (cannot fit 250x250 there, let alone 360+)
-I do not like the menu floating to the right
-Without a third column individual posts just take up way to much space!
Some of these issues could probably be changed with css but at this stage there probably is a more suited template out there.
A friend of mine has a subsc to Elegant Themes. I checked Nexus which came close but:
-Menu only on the right side
-Layout goes weird for the homepage when you do not use "middle" widgets (and I have no real reason to put something there!).
ps Page is not aimed at static content it is for a website about guides and reviews.
Sites that are sort of what I need

I hope I can some interesting tips!
Thanks in advance.
