  Hello, and I am a new member to WordPress who is still learning the in’s and out’s of blogging. I have recently set my blog to a Wu Wei theme (is this theme from WordPress.org?) and I have added widgets to the left sidebar of all pages authored by peachesandscience. However, when I viewed my page at http://peachesandscience.wordpress.com/ I cannot seem to find my widgets. Can anyone help me with putting widgets on all of my pages? Thank you!

  P&S

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Not every theme has sidebars. This is the theme description page http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/wu-wei/ Wu Wei has a footer widgets only.

  The main column width is 460 with footer widget areas of 220.

  Note also that widgets now have “visibility” settings so we can select which pages they display on. See here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/#widget-visibility

  timethief,

  Thank you for your response! I was unaware of what that really meant as I am new to blogging. I appreciate it!

  My Regards,
