Positioning in html, and whitespace to the right of the page - html

So I'm new to html and css, and right now I'm trying to figure out how to fix the positioning on this page.
It normally looks like the first image in the album:
http://imgur.com/a/LHbRp
But for some reason there is this white-space to the left which can be scrolled to if, overflow-x is not "hidden" like the second picture of that album.
Also, I don't know if you people go on facebook or other websites (like this one even), but when you resize a page, the elements on the page don't start just jumping around, but if I have overflow-x: hidden; then I assume they elements have to jump around, and the text will start to wrap, like third picture in the album.
So how do I go about making the page not move around when the window is resized, and as a bonus, what is that whitespace?

</div>
After:
<!-- Buy/Sell -->
<div class="portals">
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">
<div class="buy-portal">
<div class="content"> <!-- "container" replace with "content" -->

<h3>Sell old</h3>
<img src="http://goo.gl/0sX3jq">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
and I also changed a little in class "jumbotron" you, hails like this:
.jumbotron {
     background: url ("http://goo.gl/04j7Nn") no-repeat scroll center center / cover RGBA (0, 0, 0, 0);
     height: 500px;
     text-align: center;
}
Result : Here on jsfiddle
Hope that helps.

Why does the body of my html page extend way past the footer?

I have a short one page application. The page is not very tall, and when I load the page, the body extends well past the footer. I want the html page to end with the footer but there is white space under the footer about 2-3x the size of the entire page. I am including the relevant html and css code snippets.

Entire content is about 800-850px, but the scroll bar takes you down another 1500-2000px. It is a node.js application with .ejs files and templating if that information is relevant at all.

HTML/CSS - Center Class Trouble

I can't get the .center class to apply to the following HTML. It gets applied to the ul element for some reason, but nothing else. Am I applying it wrong? Does it have something to do with IDs? I thought adding a class to a div would apply it to all elements within.
.center {
text-align: center;
}
ul {
list-style: none; /* getting rid of bullet pts */
padding: 0; /* practice to remove padding so we can set it later */
}
img {
display: inline;
width: 200px; /* we set in % or vh(view height) for responsive */
height: 100px; /* design - changes with page size (phones tablets etc) */
}
#footer {
width: 100%;
border-top: solid 2px black;
background-color: white;
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;

#MainPage

.midText

this would bring the banner image to the center of the page. What you have to do is to add the infront of the image.
<section class="Banner ">
<div class="container midText">
<div class="col-md-12 text-center hidden-xs">
<center>
<img src="http://oi58.tinypic.com/eb61xd.jpg" class="img-responsive">
</center></div>
</div>
</section>
You should take advantage of the column system to help center your divs.
If you know bootstrap rows are 12 column-widths wide, you need a row that = 12 columns.
So...
<section>
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4"></div>
<div class="col-md-4"><img src="http://gvsfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/your-logo-here-27.png" class="Logo"></div>
<div class="col-md-4"></div>
</div>
Now you have 4|4|4, but you could also do 3|6|3 or even 2|8|2 or 1|10|1. That should always center your divs. Hope that helped.
In case my mumbling makes no sense, here are pretty pictures with explenation: http://getbootstrap.com/examples/grid/
As you have a number of breakpoints, why not just set the width of the img in pixels? The aspect ratio of the img & the containing div are different, hence why it doesn't fit precisely.
display: block;
max-width: 1024px;
margin: 0px auto;
height: auto;
For the logo...
<div class="col-md-12"><img src="http://gvsfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/your-logo-here-27.png" class="Logo"></div>
.Logo {
display: block;
margin: 15px auto;}
Quick solution for you.

Changing background of jumbotron bootstrap 3

My folders are structured as follows:
FOLDER
--css
--style.css
--dist
--img
--congruent_pentagon.png
--header.php
--index.php
I have tried to change the url to go see if that was the issue, but that did not fix the problem either. The weird part is the the background right now is grey, but not displaying the image that I want it to.
EDIT: now displaying entire html/css doc. I am using php to load in nav bars but I just combined them here to make it easier to look at.
The issue is related to the url to your image, change it to /img/congruent_pentagon.png
Online example: http://jsfiddle.net/tthLjchm/1/
Css:
.jumbotron {
background: url('http://getbootstrap.com/assets/img/sass-less.png') no-repeat center center !important;
height: 50%;
margin-top: 10px;
color: black;
}
.jumbotron p, h1 {
text-align: center;
}
The issue was that the image had to be placed within my css folder.

Bootstrap positioning issues

The issues I'm having can be seen is in these pictures http://imgur.com/jdSAKEk,CbbVrv7#0
(The border around the body will be removed and the styling of the navbar will be changed)
In the first image (desktop size),you'll see that the phone numbers icon doesn't line up next to the actual numbers and both the icon and the text aren't aligned with the bottom of the logo. I can achieve this by using padding, but then when you reduce the width of the browser the padding remains and causes huge gaps in the page.
Second issue in the first image is that I cannot get those icons and red text in the middle right area to appear in a 'grid' formation like on www.aghicks.co.uk is currently.
Lastly, On the second image, when the browser width is reduced the two lists down appear in line with each other when there is clearly enough space.
Any help with any of the problems would be appreciated.
How do you want to align your huge phone icon and the 2 lines of text and numbers? First on desktop and then on tablet?
Vertical aligning is a job for display: table-something; vertical-align: bottom;.
Grid formation: I'd go with a list of 4 items, items would be fixed width (50% or 49%), displayed as inline-block (or floating into a .clearfix container).
Second image and lists not side by side: well, which CSS are applied at this width? Check rules into relevant media query. Maybe they're displayed as inline-block with a width of 50%? Then there's STILL a whitespace of approx. 4px. A width of 45% would automagically solve the problem (don't forget to add a .clearfix container otherwise content would spill into the remaining (10%-4px) left space...)
