Alternatively, for the footer set margin: 4px auto 0 auto; auto on the left and right should centre it.

Using firebug i get the following styling
style.css (line 894) #footer { background:url("images/footer.png") repeat scroll 0 0 #696969; border-top:2px solid #696969; *margin:4px 0 0 10px;* padding-bottom:10px; padding-top:0; width:895px; }
The red coloured section using the format trbl (top right bottom left) indicates that the margin for the footer is set to 10px, equally note that from the design its a separate component from the content area. When viewed from firefox its located on the extreme left side of the window.
There are 2ways to have everything in their right position
- have both container and footer inside the same div and as such it would be positioned 10px from the left of the parent container - ensure there are no conflicting css rules for the same element 'coz what you have provided and what firebug presents seems there might be other rules applying to the same element. Either way you can have the margin set to auto or hard coded to certain values [not recommended]
my observation.
