   There's a dot on my page and it's driving me crazy. I have no idea if it's a picture or some kind of html thing or what.

   It's on my side bar, and it's right above my search bar. You can't see it on Opera internet browser but you can on IE & Firefox.

   My site: BrittanyWigand.com
   Theme: Silver Dreams

   Help?!

   Frumph, where in style.css do I put that code?

   & why do you think it looks terrible? I think it looks almost the same in every browser.

   Frumph, I tried that code but it's not working. Here's where I put it:

   #sidebar {
           float:left;
           width:80px;
           padding-left:145px;
   
   }
   
   #sidebar li {  list-type: none; }
   
   #sidebar h2 {
           color:#800;//03B6C7;
           background:transparent url("") no-repeat center right;
           font-weight:normal;
           font-family:'Arial';
           font-size:8pt;
   
   }

   What did I do wrong?

   If you want your page to behave properly you really need to work on fixing invalidations as i pointed out before in a previous thread relating to your HTML markup...

   You also have numerous CSS invalidations to.
   See here.

   I'd also strongly suggest changing your main background, it's 12mb, that's 4 minutes on a dial-up connection just to download the background image alone. If you must use that image, then look at optimising the image...

   You would benefit hugely from spending some time in learning more on HTML and CSS, and with such clever and easy to use sites like http://www.w3schools.com/ there's not really any reason to not be learning how code correctly (or better).

   Regarding the bullet, ensure you set list-style to none for both the list items and the list element itself... eg. UL and LI, not just the LI...

   If the element looked like this..
   

   <ul class="example">
   <li>Some item</li>
   <li>Some other item</li>
   </ul>

   Then you might use..
   

   .example,
   .example li {
   list-style:none inside;
   }

   T31os_, what does optimizing an image mean? & I'm working on fixing the CSS errors now... but I still have no idea how to get rid of the damn bullet. Help?!
