So I'm looking for a 100% css solution for a text glow effect. **I tried text-shadow** but I couldn't get it looking how I wanted. I was able to achieve the effect with box-shadow. However, that only glows around the outside of the elements edges, and leaves the inside blank. Here is a picture:

How do I get a nice looking outer glow like above, without the blank inside?

my code is just a simple `<li><a></a></li>` , with hover css on both the li, and a tags. 

Thanks in advance.
