Getting List Bullets to Display in a Blog Post

Are you creating unordered or ordered lists in your posts but the bullets aren't appearing? The reason is that in your HTML, some code has specified 'none' for bullets. Here is how you change this.

Go into your blog, click Customize, click Layout, and click Edit HTML. Click Download Full Template to save a fresh backup of your template to disk. Then press Ctrl-F and in the find box, type post ul, and click Next. Keep clicking Next until you find the code below.


.post ul {
padding-$startSide: 32px;
list-style-type: none;
line-height: 1.4em;
}

The second line specifies no bullet type. You can:

• Delete the line "list-style-type: none;" - keeping all other code intact. If you do this, your bullets will now default to a small black disc.
• If you want the default to be something else, you can substitute either "circle" or "square" for the word "none."

Good luck!
