Home Page Content- Cannot Find Edit Tool

    I recently changed themes on my new site, https://craginthoughts.wordpress.com, from Twenty-Twenty to Seedlet. There are now two blocks on the home page I cannot figure out how to edit. How can I edit them?
    Here is the locked content, from the middle section of the home page:

    Most posts here are from my career in information security, these days called cybersecurity. Occasionally, I branch out into other areas. After my military career in the Air National Guard and US Air Force, I spent 21 years in information technology (IT), information security (infosec), and systems engineering. This blog lets me pontificate at will on topics generally based on my different careers experiences.

    OK, I finally found how to edit the first short paragraph, by gong to the home page edit and making they type huge (multiple cmd+ hits). in normal size view it had been hidden.
    But I still have not found where the second paragraph is editable.

    Solved!
    In the homepage editor, I had ot change from visual editor to code editor. That exposed a LOT of html, much of it marked as jetpack, that had effectively hidden the text and also inserted a LOT of whitespace I did not want.
    I can only guess this was an artifact of switching from the newer Twenty Twenty One theme to teh older Seedlet.

    Hello there!

    Awesome – I’m glad to hear that is solved.

    I’m not sure if a change in themes would cause that however.

    It sounds like there could have been some empty blocks in the page/post there.

    I hope this helps.

    “It sounds like there could have been some empty blocks in the page/post there”.

    Yes, I believe that was the situation. However, when I was initially building the page in Visual view, those blocks were invisible, so could not see them to populate or delete them. Further, when in edit mode later, a lot of the content was hidden until I repeatedly hit CTRL-+ to make the text very large.
    I am doing this on Safari (current version).

    The code I deleted was all marked at Jetpack code; presumably carried over from Twenty Twenty One theme into my replacement Seedlet theme. I saw no Jetpac-[marked code ib the later versions.
