The problem is a mistake in the CSS of the theme you're using. You can correct it by turning each one of the opening li tags inside the ul to this:
<li style="list-style-type:disc;">

It was a vit ago, and I think I recall that it was interpreting the required open list elements before the ul or ol's as incorrect and in correcting the XHTML, it closed them.

I can't recall now whether I just made sure I disabled the correct XHTML or what. Try disabling the " corrects xhtml" option under formatting on the dashboard, settings, writing area.

Totally bungled putting the code on here and there's no edit option that I can find. Let's see if I can get it right this time. If not, I apologize.

I'm trying to do a nested list on my blog, but for some reason it is forcing all list items to be numbered. What I am looking for is to have the top tier in the list be numbered and the secondary tier have a bullet point. I thought I had the coding right on it, but it just isn't working. It does show correctly on the edit page, but once published it is incorrect.

For reference, here is the coding that I am using for it at the moment:

<strong>Religion</strong></p> <ol> <li>Growing Up With Religion <ul> <li>The Beginnings</li> <li>The Good Years</li> <li>Northside Freewill Baptist Church</li> </ul> </li> <li>Moving Away From Religion<br /> <ul type="disc"> </li> <li>The Downfall</li> <li>Walking Away From It All</li> <li>Core Beliefs<br /> <ul type="disc"> </li> <li>Religious</li> <li>Scientific</li> <li>Wyrd</li> <li>Melding the Beliefs<br /> <ul type="disc"> </li> <li>Coexistence Without Conflict</li> <li>Accepting the Errors That Arise</li> <li>Issues<br /> <ul type="disc"> </li> <li>Hypocrisy</li> <li>The Death of Knowledge</li> <li>Small Mindedness</li> <li>Coming to Peace With it All<br /> <ul type="disc"> </li> <li>Finding My Way Back</li> <li>Beginning to Pray Again</li> <li>Seeing Him Work in My Life Again</li> <li>Accepting That I Am Still Far From Ready</li> <li>Moving Forward<br /> <ul type="disc"> </li> <li>Finding a New Church</li> <li>The Future</li> </ol>

I even tried removing 'type="disc" from the first ul list, but it didn't make any change.
