   Yes, the_excerpt() will only display first 55 character of your post also all HTML and Images will be striped with at end [..].You won’t have read more link. chgeck this WordPres Documentation Guide for the_excerpt
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_excerpt

   You can add the_permalink(); to get link to post at the end of Excerpt but this will point to start of your post.

   <div class="entry">
   <?php if(is_archive()) {the_excerpt('Read the rest of this entry »');
   } else {
   the_content();
   } ?>
   </div>

   So would it look something like that?
