numbered list not showing the far-left numbers

  One of the pages on my blog, called “Fourteen Principles for Creative Writers,” uses a numbered list. But no matter how I format that list or which browser I view it from, the first digit disappears from all the double-digit numbers. So 10 looks like 0, 13 looks like 3, and so on. The digits are there — when I zoom the page view in my browser, I sometimes catch a glimpse of the hiding ones half-buried behind some invisible wall — but they’re not showing up in normal views.

  Should I change my margins for the page (and if so, how)? Or should I format the numbered list differently than it is now (and if so, how)?

  The page in question is at this URL: http://snoekbrown.wordpress.com/teaching-philosophy/fourteen-principles/

  Thanks for the help!

  Do you have the CSS upgrade?

  The original CSS of the theme includes this:

  #content ul li,
  #content ol li {
  margin: 4px 0 4px 20px;
  line-height: 16px;
  }

  But your left margin isn’t 20px, its only 8.

  That’s strange. No, I don’t have the CSS upgrade. Is there something in my standard template options that might have kicked the margins into a smaller number, even though I don’t have the upgrade?

  Strange indeed. I pasted the sourcecode of your page into a post in my test blog (using zBench) and everything was fine. Pasted the exact same sourcecode in a page, and got the same issue. So this is a mistake with the theme. You should report it to staff so they fix it:

  In the meantime you can correct your page by switching the editor to HTML and changing this:
  <ol>
  to this:
  <ol style="margin-left:12px;">
