 * I’m trying to take away the bullets from a list, and I can’t…and I’m very frustrated.
 * Here’s the HTML:
 *     ```
       <div style="float:right; margin:10px;">
       <ul id="boardinglist">
       <li class="boardinglist"><a href="http://www.drgoodvet.com/boarding/" title="Boarding">Boarding Overview</a></li>
       <li class="boardinglist"><a href="http://www.drgoodvet.com/boarding-policies/" title="Boarding Policies">Boarding Policies</a></li>
       <li class="boardinglist"><a href="http://www.drgoodvet.com/boarding-prices/" title="Boarding Prices">Boarding Pricing</a></li>
       </ul>
       ```
   
 * (located here: [http://www.drgoodvet.com/boarding/](http://www.drgoodvet.com/boarding/))
 * CSS is here:
    li.boardli {list-style::none!important;} ul#boardul {list-style::
   none!important;}
 * *I’ve tried this in different combinations…with and without the !important.
 * However, the bullets come from this entry:
 * .entry ul li { list-style: disc;}
 * Shouldn’t the list’s bullets (or lack thereof) results from the li.boardli and
   ul#boardul entries and not inherited from .entry ul li?
 * Thanks!

 * If you are using the CSS you say you are then there would be nothing being effected.
   What you are choosing with that is all list items with a class of `boardli` and
   the unordered list with an ID of `boardul`.
 * If you add `.entry ul li { list-style: none; }` at the end of your stylesheet
   then it should remove the styling. But do keep in mind I’m guessing you are using
   a custom CSS plugin/child theme of some sort and not editing the theme directly.
