How to delete bullet points added with Official Treehouse WordPress Widget

I have added the Treehouse Widget to my new portfolio http://www.courtney-novits.com/about-me/

Is there a simple way to delete the bullet points added next to each badge?

Thank you

Hi Courtney,

In wptreehouse-badges.css on line 82 you have:

.wptreehouse-badges li, .widget-area .wptreehouse-badges li {
    list-style: none outside none;
    /* other declarations omitted */
}

This would remove the bullet points from those badges.

However, in themes/salient/style.css on line 638 there is:

.main-content ul li {
    list-style: disc outside none;
}

This adds bullets to any list items in the .main-content div which overrides the earlier css to remove them.

I'm not too familiar with wordpress. Are you able to edit "style.css"? Or is there another place wnere you're supposed to add your own css?

Adding the following should get rid of the bullets again:

.wptreehouse-badges .wptreehouse-badge {
    list-style: none outside none;
}

Thanks! Jason Anello. That worked perfectly.

I added the code to style.css which I could access through the WordPress Dashboard by going to Appearances > Editor.

In wptreehouse-badges.css on line 82 you have:

.wptreehouse-badges li, .widget-area .wptreehouse-badges li {
    list-style: none outside none !important;
    /* other declarations omitted */
}

The important declaration means that this will not get over-ridden unless by another !important declaration.
