  Ok I have two questions, first let me put up the disclaimer that I know how to add a custom background already, however, after making a few changes to my CSS it no longer appears and instead there is just a blank background. Can someone tell me why this is and how to fix it?

  My second question is, I’m using the Twenty Ten theme and in the widgets there is a bullet type list for links and categories and the archives, I would like to remove this bullet style and instead have just the text/links. Any idea on how to do this?

  Thanks in advanced for any help!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I found that http://himandheralifeinprogress.wordpress.com/ is currently using the Twenty Ten theme.

  In your very first line of custom CSS, you have this:

  html,body,div,span,applet,object,iframe,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,p,blockquote,pre,a,abbr,acronym,address,big,cite,code,del,dfn,em,font,img,ins,kbd,q,s,samp,small,strike,strong,sub,sup,tt,var,b,u,i,center,dl,dt,dd,ol,ul,li,fieldset,form,label,legend,table,caption,tbody,tfoot,thead,tr,th,td {
  background:transparent;
  border:0;
  vertical-align:baseline;
  margin:0;
  padding:0;
  }

  One of the selectors listed there is “body” and the background in the CSS block is set to “transparent”. That’s why the background is transparent.

  To remove the bullet points from lists in the sidebar on the Twenty Ten theme, try this:

  #main .widget-area ul ul {
  list-style: none;
  margin-left: 0;
  }
