I am having to make changes to my company web site that I didn't set up. I have no training in HTML. Most of what I accomplish is thru cut and paste. But I am confused about a couple of things and have searched and not found an answer.
www.mountain-cg.com is my current web site front page. I am trying to replace "Featured Case Study" and the info below it with a different set of lists like "Industry Specialties" The new column list will be like news stories, press release type thing. I wanted to put the headline on the front page and have it link to the story.
My question is can I reduce the space before the bullet in the list and how. (in case I have a really long headline)
Thank you for any and all help.

Please see the FAQ entries
Where can I learn about HTML? and
Where can I learn about CSS?Regarding your specific question, that space is the padding for the ul#industriesList element, at least with FF3. It isn't specified in the style sheet, so the browser default is being used. (Different browsers have different defaults for the padding and margins for lists and list items, so it might be something else on a different browser.)

Thank you for the reference links.
So I am gathering that I can't really change that spacing (and that the spacing is different per the browser) and still have it in the list format that it is in currently? I guess i can stop digging to find how to change that then.
Thanks

Wrong. Or maybe right. Depends on how you look upon it. You can define the "space" (with CSS), taking the decision away from the browser, so to speak. You can remove it altogether if you like. But if you want the default list bullet there must be some margin or padding for it to live in.
