    OK,I have solved part of the puzzle. I had a hard Redirect on my hosting site, which I created a longt time ago and forgot about. New ISSUE: you can now get to https://smbresearch.net/blog, but in creating a static page, I seem to have lost all CSS for my blog site. How do I restore this? Take a look at https://smbresearch.net.

    THX for your assistance.

    Yes, I reassigned posts to the page called “Blog”. The website somehow does not recognize the smbreseach.net/blog path, and is not mapping or loading Index.php to smbreseach.net/blog.

    SwansonPhotos, rafa1, OK, I have done the steps above. Problem remains. If you go to https://www.smbresearch.net, and click on the <blog> tab, the website cannot seem to find index.php and load this page. I have dozens of blog posts, which are somewhere, but not where my website expects to find them.

    Prior to putting a static front page up, the blog posts were loaded into the root, smbresearch.net.

    Well, yes, of course that worked! I did not even think of looking in print.css. Thank you much, ClaytonJames, and esmi!!

    Rich – Thanks, That did the trick. Although it still looks to me like all of my paragraphs are double-spaced. I pasted from notepad, so no weird should have come in from Word, etc.

    Am I wrong?

    The offending wordpress.com blog finally removed the offending article from their blog – 6 days later. The blog owner came to me and asked, “I cited your article, but how do you want it done”.

    My response to them:

    “Thank you for removing the blog post.

    “This is really fundamental – it is just not – NOT – ok to copy content from one person’s blog to another. This is completely separate and different than “citation”. Reference and citation is good – copying content from one person’s blog or article to another without permission and/or attribution is content theft, and is, in my opinion, a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DCMA). Anyone who does not understand the difference between “citation” and content theft should not be writing or contributing to a blog.

    “Do not copy someone else’s content. If [identity redacted] cannot be creative enough to come up with their own ideas, then for everyone’s good, take down the blog.

    “Referencing my blog, and complimenting – and commenting on – something I wrote is fine. Quoting from my content, with appropriate attribution, is fine. Copying someone else’s content and intellectual property without permission, and without attribution, is a world of difference – and is wrong.

    “Secondly, I am extremely unhappy with having to wait 6 days for a response, while the content in dispute remained on [identity redacted]’s website.

    “Anyone contributing to a blog, or even writing, should understand this before doing any writing to a blog in my opinion.”

    Well, CMIT solutions has failed to respond to me for the past 6 days. Their blog copied content from my blog, and while they provided a link to my site, they copied my intellectual property onto their blog without giving me adequate and appropriate attribution, and now have failed to respond to me for 6 days. is ti really necessary to remind people that it is not OK to copy someone else’s intellectual property from your blog to theirs? If you are going to do that, you could at least make a good faith effort to respond to my unhappiness with your just copying my content.

    Ipstenu, Yes, thanks ,very much, the problem seems to have corrected itself. I shall have to see if I can recreate the problem. In the meantime, thanks very much for checking!

    ctenos – did you get this question answered for yourself? I just had to struggle this morning for a resolution, which found with this code:

    .post ul, .post ul li{margin-top: 1em !important;}
    .post ol, .post ol li{margin-top: 1em !important;}
    .post ul, .post ul li{list-style-position:outside !important;}
    .post ol, .post ol li{list-style-position:outside !important;}
    .post ul, .post ul li{margin: 20px !important;}
    .post ol, .post ol li{margin: 20px !important;}

    Geraldyeo – That worked. Bless you. Now just one last detail, if I want to increase the line size to say 1.2 or 1.3em, how would I intergate that into these line codes? Thank you very much!!!

    Well, I mean the content area – my posts. Lok at the “Test” post for example. I have those items as a ul. And Yes you’re right I did not mean digital, I meant decimaal for the ol.
