About This Template

I like this template and am trying to use is but I would like to show more text from the post before the break (read more…). How to I change this?

The blue bar with the search box is twice the height and looks odd when I bring it to my blog. I have even tried to change the names to just one letter to see if it’s due to the length of the words but this didn’t have an impact. How do I fix this to look like the template? I even reduced the font size to see if this would help.

Thanks for answering my questions!
