Content area stretching?
http://www.leoncalder.com/coded/cordner/bio.php

I want the actual content area to stretch when there's more text but it starts acting like a frame with the scroll bars. Thanks for help.

Hey PicoDeath!

That's an easy one...
In your #content you have overflow: auto;
If the text overflows the area of the div and you have auto, the scroll bar will appear.

change it to overflow: hidden;

Oh right ok...just feel as though I should let you know that it isn't a very SEO friendly page title. maybe you could make it a bit more keyword rich?
