Wu Wei is a WordPress theme that was created with clean, modern, minimalism in mind. Information is presented in a logical manner, without any superfluous elements getting in the way. Just like the Taoist concept of wu wei, it’s knowing when to act, and knowing when not to act.
This theme is based on principles of a grid system. You can break out of the grid with css declarations, as seen in this entry.

great work
When the comments hit 100 (count), what will happen in the comment count bubble? Will the number break out of the bubble? How will that look?
To be honest, I have no idea. But I assume it won’t completely fit into the bubble.

Hello, sorry for my englush, first of all
How can I remove all material from main page and put there custom text/archives/search. Like on your site.
Thanks.
Jeff,
loving the theme.
I’ve done some customizing, but one thing I can figure out is how to direct the “Read More” link following the description (in your example: “Knowing when to act and when not to act”).
Mine seems to exist as a dead link.
Where can I edit to fix this?
An email would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
David
Hi David. I’ve the same problems…Can you help me ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, please help. I’m a bit of a feeb when it comes to code and blogs and I’ve been trying to research and look at other people’s comments, but I think I’m stuck and need help.
#1- I want to have some non-blog looking pages. I attempted your comment out suggestion but end up with something that looks like this
http://kontoscreative.com/blog/about
I’d like to keep the “about” title on the left and the words on the right, but get rid of the extraneous date, comment blurb and comment text below.
#2-I’ve added a twitter widget. It is HUGE! how can I make it much much smaller (having the header the size of the current links and the text the size of your byline would be better than what it is now). Also is there any way to move it to the right so it’s not unbalanced? If now I can turn on some other widgets to help that. But right now it’s totally overwhelming the page.
Thanks, in advanced.
How were you able to create a sidebar? When I put a widget in my sidebar it goes straight to the bottom of my page. Could you help me out?
For a basic right-hand sidebar:
From your WordPress dashboard go to Appearance > Theme Options > Editor to edit the theme’s CSS stylesheet.
Find the section for .center-column and edit it to say this:
.center-column {width:58.334em; margin:0px auto; text-align:left; clear:both; position:relative; padding-right:19em;}
The position:relative and padding-right classes tell the center column to move 19em to the left.
Then find the section #footer-widgets and change it to say this:
#footer-widgets {position:absolute; left:60em; top:0; width:18em; border-top:none;}
This will move the footer widget to the position top:0 and left:60em. Since the center column is only 58.344em wide, the footer widget will now appear just to its right at 60em.
You can adjust the vertical positioning with the “top” position (currently 0, change it to say 11.25em to drop it down in line with the posts).
Jenny,
Thanks for this tip, exactly what I was looking for! The only thing is that I can’t get the ‘top position’ in line with my blog posts?
Hi!
I’m using the theme via WordPress and I can’t seem to fit 6 links on the top. Five are fine but there’s an awkward space left for one more link. Please help?
Thanks!
I tried this theme but could not work well because I use many tags in my posts, when I posted many tags, those tags wil spread out into comment box..I dont know how to fix it..plese help.

Hi Jeff
Love Wu-wei – just a quick question. I am using Wu-wei to build a site not blog.
Have deleted two lines of css relating to timestamp but that hasn’t got rid of it – is there some other code I should remove to remove timestamp completely?
Thanks! Amanda
thx =)
Hello,
Very much like the template, but I am unable to revise the top menu text from “link 1″ and “link 2″. I’m also unable to link the “read more” text. I’m running WordPress 3.2.1.
Any help is appreciated.
thanks,
pm
Hey!
I like your theme very much. But I can’t figure out how to change the names of the headers (“to the beginning”…). Now I have only “link 1″ etc. and when you click them nothing happens…
I also wonder why “read more” button does not work…
Thank you so much for you help!!
Sara

Hi,
Please can someone tell me how to build the menu along the top of this theme? at the moment i only have one item on the menu – “home” and i don’t see an option for adding new items (and links for them) to the menu. I thought adding pages would do it but it hasn’t.
