Elli:
It appears that "left: 50%" is putting the link's left most position at
149px, which is 50% of 298px. This is using the leftmost edge of the
link, not the center of the link like you want, which is why it looks funny.
There are other options you can explore for centering your link other
than absolute positioning if you have other options available...
