My friends and I have just started a business and we want a website to show people our stuff. So I've set it all up and it looks perfect on my computer at home and work but on my friends' and other computers backgrounds are stretched and the text is shifted over or doesn't fit. I don't know what's wrong. I've never had this problem before....
the site is at allaboutcha.com

let me know how I can fix it!

Well, for starters, the online tools reveal a few HTML errors and CSS errors that you should fix.

And the use of .bmp image files is not suitable for the web.
Besides, the layout is very fragile with the use of a background image which contains the entire page layout.

I recommend that you stop using absolute positioning, and stop trying to position your content on top of specific areas of the background image.
