 * I was poking around through my b2archives.php and b2template.functions.php and
   I was wondering how I get rid of the bullets on the monthly archives. They are
   driving me crazy! Thanks!

 * What you _really_ should do instead of eliminating the list markup is use CSS
   to elimate whatever is bugging you about the lists, be it the bullet it self 
   or the spacing. That can all be controled to the pixel with CSS. See the #menu
   code in the default CSS for examples of this.

 * That really bugged me too. I use an entirely different .CSS and I replaced most
   of the HTML in the index.php.

 * I suggest Mark Newhouse’s [Taming Lists](http://www.alistapart.com/stories/taminglists/)
   article for ALA. If there’s enough interest I might put together a little tutorial
   that discusses some of his concepts in context of WordPress in particular.

 * You’re right on target gaius_mohaim, the structure is designed to be flexible
   enough so that you can create any number of sophisticated layouts by only modifying
   the CSS. For an example of this concept in action, check out the [CSS Zen Garden](http://www.csszengarden.com/)

 * I had the same problem with the bullets… problem is that even though I added “
   list-style-type: none” to my css (which did take care of the bullets) it´s still
   a listing, meaning it has a totally different make up as a plain text line with
   a break behind it (has extra spacing)…
    Of course this messed up my layout 🙁
   Only way I could find to solve it was to get rid of all the list tags in b2template.
   functions.php (starting line 860) and adding two extra breaks in line 871 and
   878. If anyone knows a proper CSS work-around work this I would love to know

 * well, again, the list tags are part of the spirit of wP and I wouldn’t recommend
   them being taken out. if you can assign a class and different padding/margin 
   values for a list item, the spacing can be changed. or you can work around it
   using the line-height attrib. if you want it to display in line, all you have
   to set is “display:inline” and you’ll be set.

    #menu ul { margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style: none; }
