second, widths are controlled by a few factors.

1) stylesheets.
if your page is stylesheet controlled, then you need to edit the actinic.css, located in your design tab. this will have references to styles that govern the widrh of the page.

2) tables.
your page might have a tables based layout. in this case, looking through your templates for the widths of the table, and the cell might be in order.

3) overflow
this happens when an image or some other element such as form items, pushes the width of the page past its intended width. this happens more often than not with images.

to test what your page will look like under resolutions that you dont run yourself, you'll need firefox.

- right click on the bookmarks toolbar.
- click new bookmark
- set the name as '800x600'
- set this as the location: javascript:top.resizeTo(800,600);
- navigate to your page and click this bookmark.
- zing! your browser should snap to that size.

in fact, you can set these to any numbers., 1024x768, for example.

happy hunting.

And, once you have followed Gabriel's excellent advice, consider reducing the size of your home page images. The 4 large images, as nice as they are, take up 720px width alone. The rest of your pages (after a quick nosey anyway) fit ok on 1024 so perhaps just reducing the size or layout of your homepage images would help.
