What theme are you using? It looks nice...

The drupal site I have going is just simply a glorified message  
board, but I can't find a theme that looks "good".

Have you taken a look at the photo album module thing for Drupal yet?  
I've installed it, but it hasn't been used yet (so I don't know how  
adequate/inadequate it is for my needs yet).
