    I'm trying to use symbols, like quavers, as bullets. Can you do that without using images?
  • funbee May 30, 2012 @ 11:28 am | delete
    This is very informative lens for me. I will hopefully be using some of these tips. Thanks so much!
  • Caelyn May 16, 2012 @ 4:10 pm | delete
    This is a great resource and very informative. Thank you! I have one question though--Is it possible to make a bulleted list single-spaced instead of double-spaced?
  • FunNaturePhotography Apr 5, 2012 @ 3:56 pm | delete
    Great, informative lens! I used to know some of this info but couldn't remember a lot of it so it's very helpful to have it written down.
  • Alex-45 Mar 13, 2012 @ 4:24 pm | delete
    Thank you for this info. I didn't know about breaking a list and re-starting it, or increasing margins - so I've learnt something new today.

    Is there a way to put a 2 sets of bulleted lists side by side (with space in middle) in a text module using html?

    top tops
    meal meals
    food foods

    Great resource! I was wondering if there was a way so the bullets have less space between them?... thanks!

    I just used the lists and ran into the list in a border problem. I'll come back to it later and fix it. Thanks, though. This lens has been blessed by a Squid Angel.
  • ART-aid Dec 20, 2010 @ 6:11 pm | delete
    thanks for this lens --working with the automatic lists on squidoo was driving me crazy and I kept messing up something in the coding... until now!
  • jp1978 Dec 4, 2010 @ 11:25 am | delete
    How about lists inside a border? I can't figure it out!
  • starhorsepax Dec 12, 2010 @ 5:38 pm | delete
    I just figured that out. If you go to do the border like on this page: http://www.squidoo.com/html-backgrounds- you have to switch the tags for the or tags. And add the list style type at the end. I haven't tried anything but none for a style type yet though.
  • BuildingBlockToys Nov 2, 2010 @ 1:41 pm | delete
    This is just what I wanted. Thanks for making this lens.
  • ahill92 Oct 4, 2010 @ 7:04 pm | delete
    Your explanations were simple to follow, but my outcome isn't the way I want. My bullets and text are centering in the center of the page for each line instead of making a justified list. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I've tried putting the tag before the list but that doesn't seem to make a difference.
  • ahill92 Dec 5, 2010 @ 1:28 pm | delete
    Finally got it figured out. Thanks for the initial help.
  • capriliz Sep 10, 2010 @ 12:19 pm | delete

  • Kimbesa Aug 26, 2010 @ 1:46 am | delete
    I'll add my thanks to the pile...thanks for all this help. I never knew you could pick up the list, and that you could use images for the bullets.

    All great tips to dress up a lens!
  • resabi Aug 23, 2010 @ 7:03 am | delete
    Think I'm going to make some nice, small, bullet graphics, now that I know how to incorporate them. Very helpful, thanks.

    Great lens...5*s...I will feature it to my Squid-School lens later today. However, I have a question for you - I just created a lens called Amazon Associate Program, but if you look at my 4th section (with bullet points) - I can't seem to apply the background color to the bullets - what am I doing wrong? Thanks!
  • alexkazam Apr 2, 2010 @ 6:20 am | delete
    What a useful lens! Thankyou for your valuable information- I'll be smartening up all my lenses with lists!

    I may have left a comment before but I keep visiting your lens for more information so decided to say hi again.
    Thanks for all the help here.
  • eridqua Feb 16, 2010 @ 3:44 pm | delete
    Does your bullet image have to be uploaded to some URL, or can it just be uploaded somehow from your computer to your lens?
  • Gloriousconfusion Feb 14, 2010 @ 7:47 pm | delete
    Such a helpful and useful lens - thank you so much. I was trying to read how to do lists from a little booklet I have, and it was incomprehensible - it makes such a difference when things are explained properly, stage by stage.

    I found a way to change the font and decrease the space between items. The default is too spread out. Your code for changing the margin is very useful. Finding this stuff online is a chore. I have referred back to this page often. Thanks.

    Hey, this is a great lens - 5 stars!

    I would like to know how to put bullet points in columns across a page on a Squidoo lens. I know outside of Squidoo you can use the tag, but I don't think you can on Squidoo.

    Please send me a message.

    Thanks.

    Great stuff! Full points for making it so easy to understand.
  • kab Oct 14, 2008 @ 10:12 pm | delete
    Another thing to note is that if you put all of the code on one line (no line breaks) then it reduces the vertical whitespace between the listed items.
  • HomeStagingNJ Oct 6, 2008 @ 8:57 pm | delete
    Thanks, Glen. I couldn't find this info anywhere on the web in a digestible format. Then I suddenly remembered your Advanced HTML lens and immediately searched for you on Squidoo! Sure enough, here you were with the very question I needed to have answered. Thanks so much. Most generous of you to share in this way. I'm very grateful.
