#leftnav ul.widgets li ul li {
}

Could someone explain what “li ul li” means? What is the difference between the two “li” entries?

Thank you.

@imhotep, it’s for specificity, it means:

target li elements whose parent is a ul element, whose parent is an li element, whose parent is a ul with a class of widgets whose parent is an element with an ID of leftnav

Something like this:

• • This is what the CSS will target

Basically, it’s targeting a 2nd tier of an unordered list (how you would make a dropdown nav, for example).
