2 things here
Remove your 10px top margin on the ‘container’ div.
Also give your ‘body’ tag zero padding and margin.That should do it.

In reply to: WP as CMS for big websites?I use WP as a content management system for a lot of websites. You ask about whether to use pages or posts.
I think the answer depends on what you want your site to do.
I have created a number of sites where the pages of the
site are just static pages that stay there for ever and obviously new pages need adding if and when e.g. http://www.volvobreakers.co.uk is one that I created like this.On the other hand if your site is more of a news site then you may want to use both pages and posts. The example below is one that I am currently working on for a radio station. The pages are always there, like for the presenters and schedule etc, but news items and galleries are going to be added to all the time so they are written as posts with categories assigned to them.

Using posts also allows you to create a dynamic home page which brings in the latest posts from a certain categories.
You really need to sit down and plan out exactly what you want/need your site to do and then try and work out whether it is posts or pages that you need.
Hope this helps.
P.S. some sites that I have created using WP as a CMS are below for examples and perhaps to get ideas from:

In reply to: How to remove entries without Control Panel Access, Just FTP accessIf the blocked material is something that you have written in wordpress then it will be stored in your database.
Use PHPMyAdmin in order to go into the database tables and delete the offending material.
You cannot delete php or html files in order to get rid of something that is not stored there i.e. it is stored in the database.

In reply to: Turning Title off for Certain PagesYou need to create a template page for your contact page. There may already be one in your themes folder. If not them open page.php and then SAVE AS contact.php.
Add the following to the top of the page.
<?php /* Template Name: Contact */ ?>Now find and delete the following line of code.
<div class="post-title"><em><?php the_author();?></em> on <?php the_time('d M Y h:i a'); ?></div>Now in your admin/dashboard edit the contact page and on the right hand side assign it the page template “Contact”.
That should do it.
