I have two issues.
The first, I have no idea about.
Basically, when I click on a category link, the layout appears to be broken. The excerpts get continuously narrower as you go down and the sidebar isn't shown on the right. After the posts get to their narrowest at the bottom, the sidebar is then at the bottom of everything, instead of on the side.
Here's kind of a drawing of what it looks like.

My 2nd issue, is how to get the category pages to show full articles instead of excerpts. I know, this has been addressed many times and I've read about it in many different posts, but I can't seem to make it happen.
Here's what I know.
This is from a post I found on here already.
This is the result of your theme's use of the_excerpt rather than the_content in your archive.php file.
While the_content shows the full content of a post, the_excerpt only displays the first 30 or so words. Thankfully it's very simple to fix this...
Open up your theme's archive.php file and browse to line 34. Simply replacing the_excerpt with the_content should do the trick.
This is the basic idea of what I need to do.
I've read the Excerpts vs Full Posts, as well as the Template Hierarchy. I understand them, but in none of the files can I find the_excerpt.
Can anybody shed some light for me? This is my first Wordpress experience and I like it, I'm just getting past the kinks.
