Taking a look at your CSS...
#main
{
         /* Positioning */
         position: absolute;
         padding-top: 50px;
         padding-left: 5%;
         padding-right: 10%;
         top: 30px;
         left: 10%;
--->    height:40px;
         width: 65%;
<snip>
}

Might want to remove the height attribute - probably a remnant from
copy/pasting the code from your #header rule :-)

>2) The pink box with code in the centre.  How do I make that wrap to the size

Pink box worked fine for me... not sure what the problem you're
encountering is.
