Why are the bullets not being removed?

After adding the link element to normalize css the bullets remain on the preview. I also am having trouble figuring out how to use Markdown to show you to code. So frustrating, not being able to communicate effectively. I'll figure it out thanks in advance for your help.

The current normalize does not remove bullets by default. You'll need to add it to your styles.css file (or whatever you call yours)

ul, ol {
    list-style: none;
}

For markdown, you use three back ticks (in the upper left of your keyboard next to the 1 key) and follow it with the type of code you are adding. So for html, it would be (without the spaces between each key): ` html. Then you paste in your code and close the block with three more back ticks at the end.

` html

all my code here

It threw away some of my back ticks when I posted but hopefully that gives you an idea.

Thank you Jeff, I wondered if that might be it but I haven't looked at a line of code since Windows was DOS. I just started this yesterday and am having more trouble asking questions than reading and writing code. So thank you for telling me were the back tick is.
