Page Layout ⇒ Page layout messed up

[xly]

Hi,
I am new to Latex, so please forgive me if my question is stupid. I keep on getting a messed up page layout formatting and I cannot find out why - Could anybody help? I am using the following Code:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[pdftex,12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[textwidth=16cm]{geometry}
\usepackage[usenames,dvipsnames]{color}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{enumerate}
\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhead{}
\cfoot{\sffamily{\textcolor{blue}{Venezuela Profile}}}
\rfoot{\thepage}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0.4 pt}
\setlength{\headheight}{16pt}
 

% Personal control sequences
\newcommand{\HRule}{\rule{\linewidth}{0.5mm}}

You should not only insert headings but fill the document with some text. If the problem persists, it is essential to reduce the problem to a self-contained and minimal example. Otherwise I'm pessimistic about specific help.
