Here is the link. Example

Basically, my body is 80% and I set to margin auto for it to be centered like most sites. Since my about section is within the body, the background color won’t be 100% of the window. It will be confined. The only way I know how to make it be 100% is putting it absolute 100% and sticking it to the left.

Problem is if you resize the size of the browser for responsiveness, the content will stretch vertically but the color won’t. I know I set it to 200px but that’s because it wouldn’t show up otherwise. If I were to set the background color to the “about” or better yet the “content” div, it would definitely follow the size of the content but it would also be confined to the max size of 80% and not 100%.

Know what I mean? @jurotek
