LiveJournal - how do I remove the square brackets around the date; and how do I change margins of the date?

1. THE SQUARE BRACKETS AROUND THE DATE:


Is it possible to remove them, and, if so, how?


They're really far left to the date on mine, and the opening bracket is above the date; the closing bracket is below the date; and it just seems easier to remove them altogether.





2. MARGINS:


I know how to change the table margins of the entries altogether - the post, the date, subject, etc. But is there a way to change the margins of the subject title and the date, specifically? The subject title and the date are way too close together for me, and I want them to be separated a little bit more.





Thanks! =)
