How can I make my horizontal navigation bar a drop down menu?

Question

I've tried making horizontal drop down navigation bars following tutorials, however they are never centered and I can't figure out how to center them. I tried going in the opposite direction and centering my navigation bar first, and then attempting to make it a drop down menu, though this seems to throw everything off. This is the code I have.

EDIT: The problem I am having is that the submenu is displayed when the page is loaded, along with a bullet point, which I'm sure can be fixed by setting the list-style to none, however I'm not sure where in the CSS this should be.

I'm trying to create a menu similar to THIS. I understand this uses joomla and I am not.

#header {
  height: 100px;
  margin-left: auto;
  margin-right: auto;
  text-align: center;
}
#content {
  max-width: 700px;
  margin-left: auto;
  margin-right: auto;
  padding: 20px;
}
#footer {
  height: 85px;
  padding-top: 40px;
  margin-left: auto;
  margin-right: auto;
  text-align: center;
}
#menu {
  margin: 0 auto;
  display: inline-block;
  list-style: none;
  padding: 0;
  border-top: 1 solid #ccc;
  border-left: 1 solid #ccc;
  border-bottom: 1 solid #ccc;
}
#menu li {
  float: left;
}
#menu li a {
  display: block;
  padding: 10px 10px;
  text-decoration: none;
  font-weight: bold;
}
#menu li a:hover {
  color: #c00;
}

<ul id="menu">
  <li><a href="#">Home</a>
  </li>
  <li><a href="#">Kandi</a>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="#">Claim Kandi</a>
      </li>
  </li>
  <li><a href="#">Events</a>

  </li>
  <li><a href="#">Artists</a>

  </li>
  <li><a href="#">Community</a>
  </li>
  <li><a href="#">Merchandise</a>
  </li>
  </ul>

Solution

Add this CSS:

#menu, #menu ul {
    margin:0 auto;
    padding:0;
}
#menu li {
    float: left;
    position: relative;
    list-style: none;
}

#menu > li:hover > ul {
    display: block;
}
#menu > li > ul {
    display: none;
    position: absolute;
}
#menu li a {
    white-space: nowrap;
}
