I'm wondering if that could potentially be solved.

It would be nice if WP had a mechanism to either remove automatically deleted blogs or dead websites. However, what I do every 6 months or so, start at the bottom of my follow list and click each one, I see if they're either dead or no longer posting.

While I don't mind simply following blogs, I would like to know if someone deactivates, because there's no point in following them.

I was answering based on why the person said they wanted to know how to unfollow. They didn't say anything keeping up with friends.

Not sure if you noticed, but your response chiding me for being judgemental was pretty judgemental.

Just saying "you should enjoy their feed and it shouldn't matter if they give a crap about you" is way judgemental and opinionated. It's not about getting revenge - it's about losing friends and getting disconnected from people you might still be promoting in your blogroll.

Clicking in the link lists them. Whether there is a way to tell who specifically unfollows you I don't know.

But because I don't follow blogs just because they follow me I dont have the issue of revenge unfollowing. If you just follow blogs you enjoy reading you won't have that problem.

Kind of like a "follower count" for both blogs we follow, and people who follow our blogs.

Essentially, the theme's CSS is adding a "Margin" to the list, so you would need to purchase the Custom Design addon, and add some Custom CSS to override the default styles.

I've created a list with bullets, but I don't want an extra line prior to the list. I've tried exploring the text editor, but I can't figure out what's to be changed. For an example, look at the home page of our site teachlearntech.net. I also included an example below of what it looks like now vs. how I want it to look. Thanks.
Denise

What it looks like now:
text

bullet 1
bullet 2
bullet 3

What I want it to look like:
text
bullet 1
bullet 2
bullet 3

In the theme you're using, the default styling for dd is italics. If you had the Custom Design upgrade you could change this once for all. Without the upgrade you can only change each and every dd by modifying its code in the so-called Text editor. For regular text, change these:
<dd>
to
<dd style="font-style:normal;">

In a few WP blogs I help manage for a number of clients, I'm seeking to implement multi level lists in to text.

To be clear, this is what Word offers as its 3rd 'bullet' option after image bullets, and numbered bullets, and is for lists that appear like this:

1.
1.1
1.1.1
1.2
2.
2.1
3.
3.1

etc and so on, with each 'level' further indented.

Some of the aforementioned clients are law firms and political organisations, and want to publish regular articles with this multi level list format. Given that it's quite a basic and common formatting style, is there a way to do this within WordPress, either via a plug-in, or code?

Thanks in advance!

Fonts that are not the Theme default appear and I can see no way to change the text back to the Theme default font. I think the different font likely came on things copied from Word - but it's not the font used in Word....

(1) Changing font families, colors and size in text in posts or pages either post by post or page by page by coding into the HTML editor. http://en.support.wordpress.com/editors/font-size-color/

(2) Changing font colors in text in posts or pages either post by post or page by page using the #4 icon (Select text color – change the text color) in Row 2 the Visual editor. http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#row-2

(3) Changing all font families, colors and sizes throughout the whole blog by purchasing an annually renewable Custom Design upgrade and using Typekit Fonts with Staff support. http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/

Note: A few themes do provide for changing font color in the Blog Title and/or optional Tagline and/or links. In the majority of themes font changes to font families, colors and size in the blog title, tagline, menu, post titles, page titles, categories and tags, widget headings, comments and links cannot be done without purchasing an annually renewable custom design upgrade and doing the required CSS editing. http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/03/24/color-customisable-themes/
