 * This is the first post I can recall that actually _asked_ for bullets 🙂

 * Thanks, for responding.
    I’m not very smart. I have no idea what you posted there.
   I’m not sure if I’m making myself clear. I want to add bullets to the list I 
   made. Are they just images? I tried placing some ball type images at the start
   of each line but the image was always too high…..like a superscription. A BULLET
   is lower and centered on the text. Oh well

 * By default, css will add bullets unless you tell it not to:
    ul, ul li{ color:#
   ff0000; } will be red, and bulleted. ul,ul li{ color:#ff0000; list-style:none;}
   will be red, but no bullets. I cannot see where your wp install actually is –
   give us a link, and we’ll sort the css 🙂

 * Okay…….backup your css first.
    There is a spacing issue. I added bullets, but
   they were hidden due to an overlap, so this sorts that too. #nav ul { color: #
   777; font-weight: bold; list-style-type: none; margin: 0; padding-left: 3px; 
   <—————-make that 16px text-transform: lowercase; } #nav ul li { font: italic 
   normal 110% ‘Toxica’, Times New Roman, Times, serif; letter-spacing: 0.1em; margin-
   top: 10px; padding-bottom: 2px; /*border-bottom: dotted 1px #ccc;*/ list-style:
   disc; <————–add this line } #nav ul ul li { border: 0; font: normal normal 70%/
   115% ‘Lucida Grande’, ‘Lucida Sans Unicode’, Verdana, sans-serif; letter-spacing:
   0; margin-top: 0; padding: 0; padding-left: 12px; list-style:lower-greek; <———–
   add that line } I know that last one isn’t a bullet. It’s so you can see what
   to alter if you don’t want the headings to be bulleted. You may need to alter
   the 16px to suit, but do backup first, and this isn’t exactly what you are after,
   post back 🙂

 * I’m new to php. How would I use this in a post? For example, in a list…
    This
   is item #1 This is item #2 I want a bullet in front of each line. What would 
   I place in front of each line? I know, I’m slow….

 * It’s not php, it’s css 🙂
    Try a test post like this, and see that all is what
   you want:
    - This is item#1
    - Item#2
 *  and for numbered
    1. First
    2. Second>/li>
 * 
    If it is not, post back but leave the code there so we can play with it.

 * And there are QuickTags available for that in the post write/edit screen. They
   are marked (oddly enough) OL, UL, LI.

 * Well, I was wondering what those tags were for. Anyway, I got the bullets working.
   I’ve written a check for each of you but as luck would have it, I’ve run out 
   of stamps to mail them. I guess I should get a PAYPAL account.
    Now, I used the
 *  and the
    -  tags. What does the
 *  do differently?

   share their good fortune with you! 🙂

 * ul – unordered list
    ol – ordered list (numbered usually) For more list options:
