IE7 issues with site - missing content/slow scrolling

A combination of scrolled background on top of fixed background, and
very small background-images. Small images takes time to move and tile,
and yours are real miniatures :-)

Best solution is to remake the background-image on #outer, so the image
becomes more like 100 by 100px. That'll speed up IE7 (and Firefox 2 on
smooth scrolling) to near normal. Tested.
I'd also make the background on body much wider - 500px or so, for a
quicker start. Tested.

Deleting...

#footer {position:relative;}

....will fix IE7.

Alternatively, keep 'position: relative;' and add...

#footer {overflow: hidden;}

* html #footer { overflow: visible;}

IE7's problem is caused by buggy interaction between the
footer-container and the 'hr.clear {clear:both;}' element, so you can
try out other options - including getting rid of the hr.
