The instructions on my french press say to use a course grind, but I read in a recent magazine article somewhere that it's best to use a fine grind. What grind do you use in your press?

The magazine is wrong. Use a coarse grind, or at least a medium grind (if using medium, shorten the steeping time).
Not only do you use coarser grinds for brewing methods with longer steeping times (such as the press), a fine grind can make the plunger difficult to depress.
