NOt sure, but try:

1. Reuploading wp-includes folder.

2. Change theme to TwentyEleven and try again.

Sure, change:

#logo {
position: absolute;
right: 0;
top: 115px;
}

and

#topSocial {
left: 0;
position: absolute;
top: 120px;
}

in style.css.

Try this:

1. Backup style.css

2. Paste this as ‘body’ in style.css:

body {
background: url("images/Bottom_texture.jpg") no-repeat scroll -102px top #fff;
color: #262626;
margin: 0;
min-width: 1000px;
padding: 0;
}

Granted this is not the best way of doing it, but looks ok through my Firefox this way.

Ideally, you don’t want to be doing this as a body background image (you want it adding in HTML after the menu and styled in place). To do this, you need to trim the image as there is a lot of whitespace and you need to cut the image out to do it the right way. It’s the only way to guarantee cross-browser consistency.

Once you have created a new page, go to ‘Settings’ -> ‘Reading’, choose ‘static page’, select the new page you created from drop-down and then save.

The image in there will be 960px wide because that’s how big the image is. What you’ve done today is made the width flexible, so a background image isn’t going to look good now as the header will alter based on the size of the screen, but the image won’t.

If you change the image to a colour, it should look better.

Did you change:

#logo {
width: 100%;
}

as this is the container holding the logo image. By default, it is 960px so you need to change this as well.

Sure. Do not underestimate the power of htaccess – it can destroy worlds. 😉

Make sure anything you’ve custom-added to the the htaccess file is OUTSIDE of:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

Anything inside this can be overwritten by WordPress
