OK. You site has a number of problems. You seem to be on a very slow server and your front page images are over 1MB in size. As a result , it took several minutes for the home page to load. These images files should be a tiny, tiny fraction of what they are currently. Even as full-size pictures, the file sizes should probably be no more than 20-30k.

You have a number of CSS errors. For example on about line 15 of your stylesheet there is a missing semi-colon at the end. This means that the following line, which reduces your font size site wide, is ignored, probably explaining text that is larger than you want. There are a number of similar errors throughout the stylesheet.

And, as suspected, the line that you don't want is built into a background image. Specifically mainwrapper_tile.jpg
