           * bullet indented too much

The code that displays the bullet (arrow.png) is as follows -

Would you please look at http://www.fernbuck.com/pages/template.txt

I am using a template and the code I sent you was lines 11-20.

Am I going to have to go through all the code and remove all the margins and paddings?

Where exactly do I place the ul,li{margin:0;padding:0}

Forgive me I'm a rookie at this.
In case your wondering, this is one of the default templates for Joomla 1.0
put it after the body section in the CSS

and remove the padding from the li
Ok great but now the first letter of the text is overlapping with the bullet image.  How do I create distance between the bullet and the text?  "And that should be it"
Replacing {margin:0;padding:0px;} with

ul,li
{
margin-top: 0pt;

margin-right: 0pt;

margin-bottom: 0pt;

margin-left: -5pt;

padding-top: 0px;

padding-right: 0px;

padding-bottom: 0px;

padding-left: 15px;
}

Gave me exactly what I wanted.
