Press the “link” button above the new post dialogue box and enter the URL.
I recommend adding a span tag around the H1 header, with a class something like “post-title”, then in the CSS adding a new rule like this:
.post-title h1 { margin-bottom: -170px; }
You could try adding a rule for H1 to the CSS file, and setting the margin-bottom element to something like -100px (or whatever) until the text is at a reasonable distance.
