How to remove thumbnail pic from posts (or alter other things)

Hi there, the simplest way to remove the avatar next to your name would be to hide it with CSS:

.post-avatar {
   display: none;
}

Since you’re already using Jetpack, an easy way to include custom CSS is by activating the Custom CSS module and adding your CSS there.

Let me know how it goes.

Learning how to target your site’s CSS will help you make certain design changes. Here are some very helpful posts that will help you customize your site with CSS:

I looked at your CSS to see that there is 60px of space being added there. I did a search to find all the references to 60 px and found these elements to be changed, in addition to one h4 reference which had a 55px margin. To undo that spacing, try adding this:

.postcontent, #postbox .inputarea {
    padding-left: 0;
}

#main ul.commentlist, #main #respond, .textedit, #post-types, #main h4 {
    margin-left: 0 !important;
}
