• On my website employmentdrama.com I want to provide viewers with links for how to file with their state’s unemployment offices. I have each state listed as follows: Alabama —— (link). Unfortunately for me I am not able to align the links up with one another. If you could give me any tips I’d really appreciate it. My website is employmentdrama.com you can see under Apply for Unemployment Benefits.

    Use a list in the visual editor, then you can use CSS to style that list.

    I am using the visual editor but how do I use the CSS to style the list? I really will appreciate your response.

    I’m not sure you’ve implemented the list yet, you should see bullet points next to each list item in the Visual Editor.

    I don’t want to put bullet points I just want it to say the state name and next to it the link for unemployment benefits for that state but I am unable to get the website links aligned with one another. For a better understanding here is the page I am having trouble with: https://employmentdrama.com/?page_id=60

    Would you rather use a table to structure the items?

    I would prefer not to but if there is no other way how would I be able to insert a table?

    if there is no other way

    You could use a list, rather than a collection of heading 4 elements currently.

    how would I be able to insert a table

    If your Visual Editor doesn’t provide the tools for this, try this plugin.

    Thanks a lot! I will download the plugin.

    An unordered list really would be the best way to show these links. Tables used for things like this cause all kinds of problems for people with disabilities – which might be an important priority for your site. Once the list has been created, it’s relatively easy to style it using CSS.

    If you’re feeling adventurous, you could even wrangle the Link Manager in WordPress to do most of the work for you along with a custom page template. But either way, you first need to create a child theme for your customisations or install a custom CSS plugin. You should never customise the Twenty Eleven theme itself. It is the default WordPress theme and having access to an unedited version of the theme is vital when dealing with a range of site issues.
