Background Alignment / Positioning ?? Plz Help!

[benji23]

Hey, I am currently working on my FIRST site (please excuse all amateur habits) and i have come across a couple of problems...

Firstly, the Background(picture) is slightly larger than the screen and the rest of my site... I have attempted to make it 100% of screen but apparently it doesn't want to do that... Please see here

Secondly there happens to be a really slow loading time? Any ideas on how to speed it up a little??

Again im new to everything so i apologize for my lack of knowledge and amateur habits!

Regards. B

Have spent another unsuccessful day trying to figure it out! Can anybody help?

It's the padding-right on your body.

#body {
-moz-background-size: cover;
background-image: url("../images/backgroundblue.jpg");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
height: 400px;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 10px 0 300px;
position: relative;
width: 100%;
}

That should take care of it. Before you had "padding:10px 10px 300px" which was putting 10 pixels of padding to the right and left of the screen pushing the body content 20 pixels past 100%.
