This is driving me nuts and I know it should be simple ...
I am trying to indent an unordered list.  I could use
list-style-position but then if the second line under a bullet isn't
indented.  I have tried setting the margin and padding both to 30px
on both the UL and then tried the same on the LI.  I have also tried
setting padding to 30px and margin to 0px. Here is the latest of
what I have ... any help is appreciated!

.contentpaneopen ul        { padding-top:0px; padding-left:30px;
margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:5px; margin-left:30px;
list-style-type: disc; font-weight:bolder;}

You need a margin-left of 170px because of the floated image. Your margin and padding are currently happening at the left, 'behind' the picture[*]. With a margin-left of 170px, the <ul>'s left border will be where the rest of text is, and then you can use padding to make it sit more to the right if needed.

[*] If you install the Firebug plugin in Firefox, you can easily see this happening, makes it very easy to debug this type of thing.
