Caution and FAQ:

• Most of Template have default list/bullet style designed into template codes; and those code stays in

.post-body ul {} and .post-body ul li {}

So you your template already have these lines; mark them and delete them. And set my given codes.

• You can’t use two or more style. But if you know little bit of coding then change the CSS class,

.post-body ul {} and .post-body ul li {}
to
.1 ul {} and .1 ul li {}

And in post editor switch to HTML, after listing being done; and add CSS class to following ul (like: <ul class="1">)

So what you opinion, feedback about this tutorial don’t forget mention. Goodluck.....
