Could you share screenshot of that gap? as I can see it looks quite the same now.
For the link, you can backup this file:
/templates/ja_smashboard/html/com_content/category/blog_item.php
Look for this code:
<div class="pull-<?php echo htmlspecialchars($imgfloat); ?> item-image"> <img
<?php if ($images->image_intro_caption):
echo 'class="caption"'.' title="' .htmlspecialchars($images->image_intro_caption) .'"';
endif; ?>
src="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($images->image_intro); ?>" alt="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($images->image_intro_alt); ?>" itemprop="thumbnailUrl" />
</div>
change it to:
<div class="pull-<?php echo htmlspecialchars($imgfloat); ?> item-image">
<a class="article-link" href="<?php echo JRoute::_(ContentHelperRoute::getArticleRoute($this->item->slug, $this->item->catid)); ?>">
<img
<?php if ($images->image_intro_caption):
echo 'class="caption"'.' title="' .htmlspecialchars($images->image_intro_caption) .'"';
endif; ?>
src="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($images->image_intro); ?>" alt="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($images->image_intro_alt); ?>" itemprop="thumbnailUrl" />
</a>
</div>
