# styling widget / sidebar bullets

 * I’m trying to style the bullets in my sidebar so they will not show up on the
   first level of a UL, only on subsequent levels. I’m an html beginner, so I need
   some help. I’ve found the file I need to edit (style.css of my theme, Shades 
   of Blue), and the sections under “sidebar” where the bullet gif appears. If I
   remove the background line from either or both of those two sections (see below),
   the bullet disappears from all levels, but I haven’t been able to figure out 
   how to get it to disappear only from the top level. Help!
 *     ```
       #sidebar ul li li {
       	background: url(images/arrow.gif) no-repeat top left;
         padding: 0px 0px 0px 15px;
       	margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
       	}
   
       #sidebar ul li ul li {
         background: url(images/arrow.gif) no-repeat top left;
         padding: 0px 0px 0px 15px;
       	margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
       ```

 * Wish I could, but it’s a private page. We use it as an in-house document download
   and calendar center, not a blog.
