ul unordered list behaving badly

Try adding:

.post ul {
margin:0;
padding:0;
}

to your stylesheet.

esmi,

Thank you! I modified your style a bit to get the effect I wanted:

.post ul {
margin-left:0;
padding:0.2em;
}

which fixes the main content issue perfectly.

to get rid of the bullet in the sidebar i ended up doing to following for the sidebar css:

#shoutsidebar			{ list-style-type: none; width: 330px; float: right; }
#shoutsidebar ul		{ list-style-type: none;  }
#shoutsidebar ul li		{ list-style-type: none;  }
#shoutsidebar ul ul		{ list-style-type: none;  }

which is probably not the best way to deal with it — do you have an idea of how I could do that better so my sidebar content doesn’t indent or have the bullet?

thanks again.

#shoutsidebar li {list-style-type: none;} should be sufficient to remove bullets from all list elements in the sidebar. With regard to indents, start with:

#shoutsidebar ul {
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
#shoutsidebar li {
margin:0;
padding:0;
}

and then gradually increase the margins and/or padding on #shoutsidebar li until you have the spacing/indentation that you want.

Wow! That worked like a charm. Many thanks!
