You have mismatched starting/ending tags in the section in question.  
Validating the html will go a long way toward making learning css more 
manageable.  Browsers do all sorts of crazy things trying to clean up 
after you.  Also, I would suggest using headings <h4> or something 
instead of <p> elements as the heading for each list.  Also, I was 
confused by the 3 <a> elements in the heading all pointing to the same 
page.  Wouldn't one do just as well?

Something like the following should get you close.  Your current style 
sheet has a fair amount of rules that are conflicting with each other, 
which can leave me ( and maybe you too ) a little perplexed at times.  
For example, list-style-image is defined on #left, #main li, and #right 
li while list-style-position is defined in #left, #main, #main li, 
#right and #right li.  It makes debugging a challenge :-)


#left, #main, #right { float: left; width: 180px; margin-left: 30px; }
/* the padding-top value may be unnecessary once the html is fixed */
#left { margin-left: 25px; padding-top: 1em;}
#main { width: 150px;  }

#left ul, #right ul, #main ul { margin: 0; padding: 0; margin-left: 
1.5em; list-style-type: none; }
#left li, #right li, #main li { margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style-type: 
none; list-style-position: outside; text-indent: 0; }
