Try to change blogger template in html mode

When I wanna read my blog I have to scroll down a bit to read the content.That 's make  me tried so I try to minimum the height of header but it can't change in the design mode .So I have to change in HTML mode First I looking for variable name height but it's waste of time.Some moment later I found that the key is to delete so tag like this one

<div class='cap-top'>

          <div class='cap-left'/>

          <div class='cap-right'/>

        </div>

and also edit variable about padding to 0px usually its value is 30px or 15px

Another option is not to show date.
