   Here's the URL at question:

   http://videoexperiment.com/blog/category/videos-we-like/

   I'm using the MistyLook theme.

   Basically I'd like to have the full post rather than an excerpt in the category pages. Also, is there a way to modify this text at the top of the first post:

   "Archive for the 'Videos We Like' Category"

   You will have to edit the category.php or archive.php of the theme.
   This might be a good guide:

   The weird thing is I don't see category.php as an option to edit...

   * Stylesheet
   * 404 Template
   * Archives
   * author.php
   * Comments
   * Contact
   * Footer
   * functions.php
   * Header
   * Main Index Template
   * Archives
   * Links
   * Page Template
   * Search Results
   * Sidebar
   * Single Post

   As I said: category.php OR archive.php, depending on your theme's structure. The link I gave you should have clarified for you which file to look for.
   If you don't have a category.php it means your category archives are displayed by the archive.php file. (Warning: it is NOT the same as archives.php with plural S at the end!)

   Ok FYI - I figured out what I needed to do. It was in archive.php.

   Change <?php the_exerpt(); ?> to <?php the_content(); ?>

   Also to change the text at the top delete:

   <h2 class="pagetitle">Archive for the '<?php echo single_cat_title(); ?>' Category</h2>
