 * I have never used wordpress before so I’m learning as I go. I just took the default
   style.css which had the 3 occurances of #header in it. I don’t know why they 
   are there.
 * I assume you can create blogs that don’t have repeating images that in effect,
   become your background. And that this color is set in the #header, #footer, and#
   body tag.
 * For some reason, only my footer area is acting up in this way. I am trying to
   eliminate the white and I thought the solution would be to reduce that area or
   set a margin so that it became hidden behind my footer image.
 * If I replace #ffffff with the word ‘transparent’ or remove it the white goes 
   away. I just figured the better way would be to adjust the area to match my images.

 * Thanks. I did try altering the footer and footer p, but nothing would cause it
   to budge. The padding would only affect the height of the whitespace. The margin
   settings would only shift the footer (including the sliver of white) to the left
   or right.
 * This is what I have now.
 * #footer {
    padding: 0; margin: 20px auto; width: 100%; clear: both; }
 * #footer p {
    margin: 20px auto; padding: 19px 0; text-align: center; clear: both;}
