   So, I figured out that using the super_loop, the_excerpt and some hand coding I can get the layout that I want. I put this

   This is a news post, should only be the content and of course

   The rest of the story...

   Check out the news archives

   into the Excerpt field on the post and ti works, but is there a generic way to do this? perhaps some block of code that will pull either the needed page_id or the cat_id depending on which you need? Somebody else will be maintaining the site and I'm not sure how tech savvy they are so I was thinking if I could just give him/her a basic template for the excerpt field, then they could run from there.

   Also, if I can use a default category archive page, can I customize it a bit so that it just uses the excerpts and not the full content?
