 * i’ve got a hover image on my menu but it is not centering. on the longer words
   it appears more centered than on shorter words. also, the underline is underlining
   some of the spaces between the words, when it should be just the letters getting
   underlined on hover.
 * a friend of mine who is a webdesigner thought something is getting overridden
   from the theme.
 * my website is: [http://www.lizartlizard.com/](http://www.lizartlizard.com/)
 * the code i am using is below. i’ve also tried setting a defined width like 180px
   instead of auto, but nothing seems to correct the problem.
 *     ```
       #maind-nav li {
   
       list-style: outside none none;
       text-align: center;
       padding: 55px 10px 0px 10px;
         border-bottom: 12px solid #fff;
         width: 100%;
        }
   
       #main-nav a:hover {
         background-image: url(http://lizartlizard.com/spaceship1.png);
       padding: 55px 10px 0px 10px;
       border-bottom: 12px solid #cdf268;
       text-align: center;
         width: 100%;
       }
   
       #main-nav a {
       padding: 55px 10px 0px 10px;
       border-bottom: 12px solid #fff;
       text-align: center;
         width: 100%;
       }
       ```
