How to remove bullets

    Hi I searched all topics on removing bullets/lists, but none of them really answered my current question…I have set up template and used my own css file instead of default wp-layout.css. Now, I noticed that I have those unsightly bullets next to Categories, Archives and underneath “Filed under <category>” on a separate line. I wanted to change this format so the line would become one line instead of three as indicated in default WP template. I checked my template HTML and CSS, there’s no ul or li that I’m using yet for some reason WP kept putting these in my template. I even turned off all ul and li yet they are still there. They’re like embedded and those tags don’t show up in my template. I upgraded from b2 recently to 1.01-miles. TIA!

    Thanks, but actually it’s not that I know what I’m talking about, it’s more that I have since 1994 been passionate about the original promise of HTML: structured documents, client indpendence, separation of application logic and presentation, etc. CSS is a huge step forward in this regard. I only recently got into CSS because I used Netscape v4.7 for many years after it was obsolete.
    Don’t get me started about how Javascript is a harbinger of the End Times…

    Ok, let’s start back at the beginning: you wanted to know how to keep the “Filed under:” categories from showing up on separate lines with bullets, right? You want them all on the same line, with no bullets?
    You mean like the “Filed under:” categories here?:

    Notice the categories after Filed Under: are all on the same line, and without bullets, yet they are marked up as a list. This is, in fact, done with CSS. However, since you said you used your own css file (and possible template?), it’s hard for us to know where the problem is occuring in your CSS file. I could tell you how *I* did it, but that might not help you…
    So, again, if you give us a link to check out, we could solve this problem in about 5 minutes or less.
    Please?

    Hey everybody…guess what? I finally got it! I got the CSS the way I wanted in my template and it looks great…I’m wrapped in absolute bliss! Took me some time to study CSS list stuff and pore over examples via links you guys posted. I went back to square one and fooled around with CSS till I was satisfied. Lemme tell ya, making CSS work with your template is really powerful. I’m duly impressed with CSS, esp. making it work in both PC and Mac (since I’m a Mac user). I really appreciate all of your help. Now, I can officially say WP rox and MEAN it!

    This has been explained a number of times, but I don’t get it right. I still can’t get rid of those bullets in my sidebar…
    Here’s the site: https://www.realillusions.info

    It doesn’t make sense to continue a thread from March 2004 ??
    Instead check out this: Styling_Lists_with_CSS

    Besides, there are no bullets in your sidebar, depending on the browser you are using…

    .entry ul li:before, #sidebar ul ul li:before {

    content: “0BB 020”;

    }

    Thanks! I wasn’t sure what that line meant before, so I didn’t dare messing with it :).
