Any template recommendations for a website that will be run by a sports journalist? This is his present site:
wired868.com/blog/
wired868.com

Some of the key functionality being sought among other things is the ability to bring Facebook and LinkedIn comments onto the site. So a particular comment starts off in Facebook and every time someone makes a post on Facebook the post automatically shows on the website. Assuming the Facebook account is owned by the same journalist. Any recommendations for a template that has this kind of functionality and layout for a sports journalist?

Hi

With the facebook and LinkedIn functionality, you would be looking for an extension to handle this rather than the template

So I would either Google for it or browse the Joomla extension directory

Regarding the presenting the articles, it would depend on how much you wanted to customise a template and the reasons for the move from WordPress to Joomla
