 * This may not exactly be a wordpress problem, but I used the
    < ol > and < li 
   > html tags to make a numbered list, but somehow even though the preview in WordPress
   shows the numbers, it doesn’t show on the actual post. I guess it has something
   to do with the css file but I have no idea what is causing the numbers to disappear
   from the actual post on the web page. See this post for example: [http://intheouter.net/archives/183](http://intheouter.net/archives/183)
 * I see these two lines in my css file:
 * ol#comments li p {
    font-size: 100%; }
 * #content ol li {
    list-style: decimal; }
 * But I don’t know how to change the settings. Can anyone help?

 * .storycontent ol li {
    list-style: decimal; }
 * That sorts it out 🙂
    Place that at the bottom of your css file.
