Can someone have a look at my site and suggest how I can get rid of the white area beside the banner in the footer please

Wow, that's a strange occurrence.

I don't know if this will work, as when I open up the virtual CSS adjuster... the white space goes away. Perhaps, a forced background color will remedy this issue;

Add this into your stylesheet;

.banners { 
        background-color: #cfdff9; 
        }

Scratch the above, it's not so strange after all.

... what do we have here?

.centerColumn, #bannerOne, #bannerTwo,  #bannerThree,  #bannerFour,  #bannerFive, #bannerSix {
	
	padding-top: 0em;
	padding-left: 3em;
	padding-right: 2em;
	background-image: url(..//images/statueliberty.gif);
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	background-position: 6em 4em
	}
.centerColumn {
	padding-top: 3em;
	padding-left: 3em;
	padding-right: 2em;
	background-image: url(..//images/statueliberty.gif);
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	background-position: 6em 4em
	}
#bannerSix  {
   padding-top: 2em;
   }

That large image will definitely not qualify as a banner background image, hence the apparent whitespace issue. Once you clean that up, no more problem.

OMG hahahahaha I'm such a duffus

Thanks so much Sketchy. I knew it was something stupid that I had done.

My biggest problem arose when I had to start from scratch cause of muffin' my first one. I had a backup copy but as there were other things I wanted different, I had decided to start with a clean slate. I made the mistake of copying and pasting bits and pieces from my original backup stylesheet and failed to delete some stuff in the new one but my still learning eye was missing things, causing errors to occur that I just couldnt figure. I really appreciate you taking a look. I'm not really this stupid

No biggie... sometimes, it takes two sets of eyes to pick up on things. Granted, the whitespace was kinda weird and it had me fooled the first time around. Then, I remembered that the issue didn't happen last time I was at your storefront... I stewed it over in my head and I thought to myself; "Something is off, that whitespace is totally strange". A bit of probing into your stylesheet and then I noticed the immediate cause. As I always say; "Extra time, coffee, and sleep will surely make everything ok".
