So I have bullet point right outside of the upper lefthand corner of my images in the preview of my web page for this assignment. I do not see these bullet points in the tutorial video nor are they addressed as far as I recall. Did I overlook a mistake in my LOC? I am providing a dropbox link with a screenshot of the preview and LOC:

Thank you in advance for any assistance and your time.

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsHi Jeremy,
It's normal to still have the bullet points at this point for the gallery. You'll remove them later in the project with css similar to what Bryan has shown although you will use a different selector.
The normalize version that you're linking to here only removes bullets from lists within a nav element.
What I'm not sure about is why you're seeing them at the top left of each image. Are you seeing 5 bullets all in that same position for each image?
When I test locally the bullets are at the lower left corner of each image.

section ul {
list-style: none;
}
Haven't fooled around with CSS in a while, but that should work.

11,940 PointsAdd code by using the backtick characters :)
It could be that Nick hasn't gone over list-styles yet, and you're getting ahead of him :P No problem with that, but he will certainly go over it sometime.
Did adding my CSS to your code fix it?
Jeremy Smith
900 PointsIm not sure where to enter that LOC. We definitely havent gone into that detail regarding css yet. He had me link a normalize.css file though. Where would I insert that LOC? I also noticed that it wasnt in Nick's preview in the tutorial when he showed his web page.
Jason Anello
Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsSee my comment to my answer. This is strange because when I go to your web preview url I see the bullets where they should be at the bottom left corner. Not where your screenshot says they are.
What do you mean by LOC?
Jeremy Smith
900 PointsOk thank you. I also noticed that when I cut and paste my LOC into the message box (like this one) the code is not visible. Is there a way around this for future reference when I am asking for help or collaborating?

900 PointsWeird...now the bullets are at the bottem left corner.
Jason Anello
Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsThat is strange but at least they're where they are supposed.to be now. I would say you're right on track then.
To clear up any confusion, eventually you will start writing "main.css" which is where you're going to put your own custom css to style this site. That's where you'll end up putting css similar to what Bryan showed you to get rid of those bullets.
Jeremy Smith
900 PointsThanks guys. I appreciate the assistance.

900 PointsJeremy Smith
900 PointsYes each image has a bullet in the upper left corner. Thing is... I had a previous preview in another tab long before I linked the normalize.css file so I originally thought I missed something. Thank you for your input. I want to get it right.

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsI decided to type in your web preview url that is showing in your screenshot and your bullets are showing in the lower left like i see with the project files. I'm not sure how you got it like that in your screenshot.
So I would say you're fine right now and your web preview url looks the way it is supposed to at this point in time.
Nick never scrolls down at the end of the video which is why you don't see the bullet points.
