So I have searched for hours and I am now at a lost on how to get my bullet points to work in my theme. So I have read a ton of reviews and made the changes, but can not seem to get them to work. They appear indented and bulleted in the WYSIWYG but not when I view it from my site timjthyne.com. Is there someone who is able to help me please?
I have attempted to change ol, ul { list-style:none; margin:0; } to ol, ul { list-style:square; margin:0; }, but had not luck with that either.
Thank you!!

You did not mention what Theme you are using. I see that it is in a directory called "respo" but couldn't find a theme in the WordPress Repository by that name, though there are two that start with those letters.
please post a direct link to a post or page with ordered/unordered lists inserted.
make sure to increase the left margin;
example to get bullets in the content of posts or pages:
.hentry ol { list-style:decimal; margin:0 0 0 25px; }
.hentry ul { list-style:square; margin:0 0 0 25px; }

Thanks, Here is the theme I am referring to: http://themnific.com/respo-theme/
A example of where I would like the bullets can be found on timjthyne.com/how-to-network-in-college or on the about me page.
Thank you for all your help with this and I look forward to hearing back.
in the 'how-to-network' post, the only line which is an unordered list, seems to be:
-Personally introduce yourself…this will help leave a lasting impression.adding the before mentioned styles brings out the bullet:
.hentry ol { list-style:decimal; margin:0 0 0 25px; }
.hentry ul { list-style:square; margin:0 0 0 25px; }you might need to clear the browser cache to see the effect of the change.

Where should I add that code in my css. style sheet?
I did not add the bullets to all of the points, just that one for testing purposes.
basically anywhere - as long as you don't break the css syntax.
for example after the ol, ul {...} style near the top.

I spoke too soon...I just tried to update my bullet points on the about- me page http://timjthyne.com/about-me/ and I am having the same problem. Ugh. They are showing up in the editor but not on the actually page. Is there another code I will need to add in for this problem?
tha static page does not have the .hentry css class for the content;
change .hentry to .entry
i.e.
.entry ol { list-style:decimal; margin:0 0 0 25px; }
.entry ul { list-style:square; margin:0 0 0 25px; }try to work with a tool such as Firebug http://getfirebug.com/ to investigate these kind of formatting problems.

I will do that as I have more problems. No my css looks like this:
html,body,div,span,object,iframe,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,p,blockquote,pre,a,abbr,address,cite,code,del,dfn,em,img,ins,q,small,strong,sub,sup,dl,dt,dd,ol,ul,li,fieldset,form,label,legend,table,caption,tbody,tfoot,thead,tr,th,td{border:0;margin:0;padding:0}article,aside,figure,figure img,figcaption,hgroup,footer,header,nav,section,video,object{display:block}a img{border:0}figure{position:relative}figure img{width:100%}
ol, ul { list-style:none; margin:0; }
.hentry ul { list-style:disc; margin:0 0 0 25px; }
.hentry ol { list-style:disc; margin:0 0 0 25px; }
.entry ol { list-style:disc; margin:0 0 0 25px; }
.entry ul { list-style:disc; margin:0 0 0 25px; }
Will that be ok since all 4 are there? I will attempt to use that tool again in the future, but I do appreciate the patience and assistance with this problem.
