  Old  Help with CSS layout

Hi all,

I'm something of a novice at CSS and I'm having trouble converting a PSD layout to HTML/CSS. Here is a link to an image of the layout.

My problem is with the menu part. I'm going to rollover the oval in the background and want to vertically and horizontally align the labels to the center of the spaces where the ovals will be. Here is what I have so far:

relevant HTML:

Code:
 
         <div class="main-menu">
            <ul>
                <li ><a href="#"><img alt="web design" src="images/web-design.png"></a></li>
                <li ><a href="#"><img alt="editing" src="images/editing.png"></a></li>
                <li ><a href="#"><img alt="writing" src="images/writing.png"></a></li>
                <li ><a href="#"><img alt="translation" src="images/translation.png"></a></li> 
            </ul>
            
         </div>
CSS:

Code:
* {
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	position: relative;
}


body { background-color: #FFFFFF;
	font-family: Gill Sans, Gill Sans MT, Calibri, sans-serif;
	font-size: 11px;
	color:#000000; 
	}

...


div.main-menu {
	left: 100px;
	top: 200px;
	width: 892px;
	height: 230px;
	position: relative;
	
}


div.main-menu ul{

	list-style: none;
	position: relative;
	width: 892px;
	height: 230px;

	
}


div.main-menu ul li{
	display:inline;
	height: 227px;
	width: 218px;
	margin-top: 30px;
	padding-left: 10px;
	padding-right: 10px;
	
	
}
I tried a number of things, but nothing seems to work. I'd appreciate your help!

Thanks,
polina

I was actually able to resolve this using several div's instead of the ul, but would appreciate a more elegant solution, if you have one (would also be happy to share code if anyone is interested).

Add top and bottom padding to the li elements? I would need a screenshot to fully understand what the problem is tough
