Lists out of place when published

  • Just a quick question, if I may.
    I have a list of of things in a post, like this:
    XXXXX XXXXX XXXXXX
    1.xxx xxx xxxxx
    2.xxx xxxx xxxxx
    I hope that makes sense, it’s just a three column list of things I’m writing about in a post.
    My problem-I can’t get things to stay put. When I publish they are not in the same position.
    Thanks,
    Jerry

  • Are you using the HTML OL for an “ordered list” which consists of automatic generation of numbers, or the UL “unordered list” which consists of bullets before each point?

    Using the buttons at the top of your post edit textarea, you can choose one of these two options. In the HTML view of your post, it would look like this for an ordered list:

    <ol>
<li>The first point you want to make.</li>
<li>The second point you want to make.</li>
</ol>

    If you just use the spacebar, things will look wonky. Use the HTML tags instead.

    You can type out your list in the Visual Editor mode with each point you want to make on one line. Then select it and click the 1,2,3 or bullet list button and it turns into a list automatically.

    Well Lorelle, I started with a bullet list in Visual Editor then later added the other two columns. I’ll bet therein lays my problem, right?
    If I start over with the bullet list and add the columns at the same time as I proceed down the list, problem solved?
