How to order my list

I can't seem to get the blog points list above to have line breaks in between the names, you know, so that it looks like a list instead of all jumbled together. 1 point for help!

I can tell you how I did mine, and maybe that'll help.

First I added a new page element. From the selection there, I picked "List". I then added each person as an individual list item, with a link if they had a blog page. I included their current BP total at the end of the name.

So I updated just the BP total whenever points are awarded. You can easily move the list items up and down the list via the little up and down arrows beside the "Edit" and "Delete" labels when you go in to edit that page element (the arrows are very tiny, but they work great!)

Helpful? If you don't know what I mean, just ask and I'll provide more step-by-step instructions. If you just don't like that approach, oh well.

Forgot to mention: I selected "Don't Sort" as the Sorting option, since I want them to show up in the order I have them in (and move them via the little arrows). I also selected "3" as the "number of items to show" so as to keep it a Leader Board, but I actually have everyone on my list, and maintain each total (just the top 3 show up).

If you are just using the HTML/JavaScript widget you can put a <br> or a <p> between each entry or make them a list by using
<ul><li>item 1</li>
<li>item 2</li></ul>
