  As you can see, I have a list on this page: http://metaledu.wordpress.com/2011/05/28/introductionabout-the-author/

  The list is numbered. Now when you make an OL, you can put code in the list to make the list start on a different number, example: <li value="5">

  I tried to do that with mine so I could have it broken up into sub-headings but… every time I save the pave, it keeps my lists but takes out that one part of the code.

  So is there a way for me to achieve what it is I am trying to do? I don’t want to use a definition list, because I can ‘t format that to do what I want either. I could put a definition list and then manually put in the numbers, but then none of the text would line up behind the numbers evenly…

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

  Anyone?

  I tried to look up in the WordPress help thing but, there’s no information there.

  Never mind, I found a way, thanks for all your help that I asked for 8 hours ago…

  If anyone else has the problem, this is what you do: <ol start="4"><li>

  Apparently if you try to put <ol><li value="4"> it won’t work?

  Yeah so, that’s that.
