here's a little fact about me. in some cases i'm really particular about details and making everything "just right," i.e. stuff at work. then, in other cases i couldn't care less about perfection, i.e. stuff with technology.
you may have noticed i've added a few links to the right of my blog. but my blog does some funny thing (it may have bothered you in the past) where it likes to just randomly add extra lines with bullets wherever it likes (eventhough the code is the same on each line). it now seems to want to be really obnoxious (look to your right now). if it bothers you you can either A) tell me how to fix it or B) suck it up.
i really don't care that much about it so i'm opting to B) suck it up (at least for tonight).

Found your problem :-)
If you go to your template, each item should start (ignore the line breaks):
<li><a href="http://name.com">Name</a></li>
The <li> in the beginning is starting your "list item" - to close it it must be a </li> at the end. One of the ones that's giving you trouble is Bo -- look at the end of his. It says <li> instead of </li> - so it starts a new line instead of just finishing the old. In html you have to "open" and "close" every bit of formatting you do, so everything is symmetrical. If you notice, the <a>s work the same way.
Theresa,
You seem to have a knack for these technical kinds of things. You should pursue this talent a bit, perhaps in a field related to math or, hmmm...science, maybe? Just a thought.
Dude, I can't tell you how many times I have overlooked that, but Theresa is right, you need to add the "/" in front of the "li" in the ending brackets of both mine and Rachel's.
Doh . . . I'm such an IDIOT.
oh snap! that was totally the problem. you don't know how many times i'd looked at the code and not noticed that the little "/" was missing. i kept saying, "but they're exactly the same as the other lines!" you guys are the bestests!
Okay, now you just need to remove the extra space in front of the Queen of Denial, and my analy rententive nature can sleep at night.
Yeah... and in front of Gashwin and Eliz too. Jeez.
boy, you guys are getting a little particular here. i think i'll just leave the spaces just to piss you off. ha!
