talking about standard welcome, there is some "white space" between the 
<header> and the <section> tag.
A little bit is on the <section>, padding top on .main is 20px (web2py.css, 
line 42).
The other thing to look is on the <header> . It has a margin-top of 60px to 
counteract the -60px of the body (it's there to keep the navbar inside the 
viewport). So, can't touch it. 
However, inside <header> there's <div class="page-header">. That has 
margins both on top and on bottom (20px and 30px). Overriding those leaves 
no additional "white space". Tune as you like.
