   Hi

   Can anyone help please. I've got a problem with the links in the wordpress site I have built. In MAC OSX it's fine but in Windows internet explorer it's not.

   The site is www.boltonartstudents.com you can see that the categories, pages, education links all seem to indent and I want them to sit flush left in line with the actual list of links.

   I've got limited CSS and PHP knowledge and I would be really grateful if someone can tell me exactly which files to edit. For instance, which file actually generates the HTML that contains the sidebar info.

   Help please

   John

   The default indent for ul, ol, li is different in each browser. You need to reset them in your CSS.

   Just set ul, ol {margin: 0}

   Adjust as necessary.

   I found this in a search. If anybody picks it up I'd sure appreciate it!

   I'm using Sandbox Skin on my blog: Scrappr. Looked for the designers contact and not surprisingly couldn't get it.

   Seemingly simple issue here:

   My ol, ul Wordpress calls are giving no indent in this theme.

   The blockquote works just fine however.

   I've tried a few changes to the css. Most recently as suggested by Root in this thread:

   .entry-content ul, ol {margin: 0}

   It didn't remedy the issue. I may have put it in the wrong area of the css? Anyway . . . if somebody could make a few suggestions of something it would help me out a lot. Here's a post on my blog that shows the issue:

   Thanks in advance. I hope I don't reveal too much my greenness at CSS.

   Setting margin:0 is what you do to get RID of the indent. Set it to something else. e.g. {margin:0 0 0 3em;}

   (the numbers are the top, right, bottom, left margins; you want to change the left one)

    body {
    	font-family: georgia, serif;
    }
    h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,#blog-description,#menu li a,.published,.sidebar a,.comments-link,.comment-author, .category-quote .entry-content blockquote, .category-quote .entry-content blockquote p{
    	font-style:italic;
    	font-weight:bold;
    }
    
    .entry-content ol {margin:0 0 0 3em;}
