# how to show bullets inline?

 * I don’t like having just spaces between my categories because they are a list
   and grammatically speaking inline lists should have commas, right? So I made 
   a bullet with a comma on it, and changed the code to:
    `.meta ul { display: inline;
   margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style-image:url(http://paige.blogthing.com/static/
   wp-style/images/comma.gif); } But [the comma isn’t showing](http://paige.blogthing.com).
   Would one of you CSS gurus help me out?

 * Oh, I just thought, even if the comma _did_ show it would come before the first
   item and I don’t want that! So if you could tell me how to fix that too it would
   be great.

 * An [article](http://www.alistapart.com/articles/taminglists/) on A List Apart
   that I just happen to have read today addresses this problem.

 * To override the image for the first item, you’d use
    `list-style-image: none;`
   Also you wanted it to work for your category list, right? Like: “Filed under:
   Weblogging, Feminism”? If so, **.meta ul** is not what you want, you want **.
   post-categories**.

 * Wow, that was fast! I couldn’t use the first solution because blogthing doesn’t
   let you change index.php, but the ALA one was exactly what I was looking for,
   thanks serendipity!
    And for the record .meta ul works just fine, so maybe you’re
   using a different stylesheet to me.
