Skin: HarryPotter01 by Butterfly
Problem one: I added a background pattern, and for some reason I have this strange stretched out block of #000 that overlays the background just below the newsblock. (Screencaps one and two shows exactly what I'm talking about - you'll see it cuts through "site info") I've done everything from editing the footer background to adding a height to the #mainContainer in order to suppress it, but nothing has worked.
Problem two: I can't seem to get the news to show more than one of the news stories at once in this skin, though in CSSZen it will show more than one. I'm not skilled enough with coding to edit the .tpl file to show them all, so if someone could explain it to me, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.

I see what you mean. But here's something interesting. Start with a smaller browser window, and watch what happens when you size it larger. That gives the answer you need.
In your style.css, change
background-repeat: repeat-x;
to
background-repeat: repeat;
The other news issue is probably because it's being defined in the in skin's variables.php file. That's not one I can really get to on my own to check it out, though.
Oh man, Lyndsie, I just *headdesked* so hard, I've probably given myself a concussion. Thank you for being so kind while pointing out my obvious & epic!fail. And simply by stating that it's a variables.tpl thing, I've managed to fix it myself - Thank you!
Consider this solved!! 🙂
No problem. Did you know that there's a wiki for lots of general skin stuff? I know that variables.php has a page. Here's the wiki category on skinning.
So Helpful!! Thanks Lyndsie 🙂
