Note also that if you are using the BLOCKQUOTE element for indenting text then you are very badly misusing the element. BLOCKQUOTE is for marking long quotations, as its name implies, and nothing else. Use CSS if you want your text indented.

@KravvitzAug 08.2005 — margin, padding, or text-indent -- it depends what effect you want.

@ray326Aug 09.2005 — what is the css for indenting text?[/QUOTE]Well what you've got there is an unordered list so <ul><li> are your mark up.
[code=html]

<li>Carpenter Ants</li>
<li>Termites</li>
<li>Roaches</li>
<li>Real Estate Inspections</li>
<li>Construction Pre-treatments</li>
</ul>
[/code]
You then style them according to how you want them to look.
