My "About blog post, which is the first welcome info members see on my main/home page, has a title AND a sub title with lots of empty space around it. It hogs the screen for new visitors. I'd love to shorten it up a bit so they can see additional interesting stuff in their first screen impression...please see the screenshot.
Ideally I'd love to get RID of the sub-title altogether, but it won't let me. Plus, then where would the settings 'gear' icon go if I did that? There's an extra line of space underneath the gear button too that won't go away. (I wouldn't mind the gear icon overlapping the text or being at bottom etc)
I also don't have any extra line breaks at bottom surrounding the Paypal button, but there is a whole additional line of space both above and below that button too that I can't get rid of either.
What to do?

In your skin's index_about.tpl remove lines 6 - 12 inclusive -
            {if jrUser_is_master() && jrUser_is_admin()}
                <div class="block_config">
                    <a href="{$jamroom_url}/{$item.profile_url}/{$burl}/{$item._item_id}/{$item.blog_title_url}">{jrCore_icon icon="gear"}</a>
                </div>
            {/if}
            <h3>{$item.blog_title}</h3><br>
            <br>

This will remove the blog title and the update button. Note that the update button wouldn't have shown to visitors anyway and you can still get to the blog update via your profile page.
