1,536 Pointsmy bullet points are still active when including external css
I linked the css/normalize and in the video it says that only a few changes will take place. one of the changes was that the bullet points should no longer be in the unordered list, however mine are still there. how come?

39,199 Pointstl;dr - In the video nick is using a different version of normalize.css than the current version in which list stylings are no longer removed.
There's actually a very good reason for this discrepancy, if you check out time index 1:17 you'll notice the normalize.css file Nick is using is version 1.1.0 the current version of normalize.css is version 3.0.1. Last year when version 2 of normalize.css came out according to the changelog "all list normalizations." were removed.

Treehouse TeacherWow, so I have no idea how that old version of normalize snuck into this project... Thanks for pointing this out.
edit: Nevermind, I figured it out. Earlier last year when I was developing this project, I made the decision to stick with Normalize.css v1 when v2 dropped because of legacy browser support. It didn't end up mattering in the final project, but that's why that's there.

1,379 Pointswhere about in normalize.css would I drop this extra coding to remove bullet points? OR all in all does it really matter to final outcome of any site/navigation bar etc?

7,894 PointsHi Nathan, normalize.css isn't like reset.css, so the li's elements keeps the bullets. In order to remove it you have to create a new CSS rule that deals with those bullets. You can add a rule like:
ul, ol {
list-style: none;
}
That might help.

Juan Jose Cortes Guzman - As it turns out Nathan Bennett is in fact correct here when he says
> in the video it says that only a few changes will take place. one of the changes was that the bullet points should no longer be in the unordered list
I went back and checked the transcript of the video and at time index 6:36 Nick Pettit says "You'll also notice that's there's no bullet points on our unordered list anymore."

As I noted in my answer above.
