   For example, this page http://wegotthiscovered.com/category/movies/

   How would I edit the template file for that, I don't have any category.php file so where would I go to edit it

   thanks!

   also if you go to my site wegotthiscovered.com you'll notice if you click on a post it only shows the title, not the category or tags, how do I get it to show the category/tags?

   Thanks

   oh btw that didn't work, single.php is for posts, not the categories page

   if your theme does not have a category.php, make a copy of archive.php (if archive.php exists, otherwise from index.php) and save it as category.php - then edit it.

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy

   to show categories in single posts, you can use:
   <?php the_category(', ') ?>
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_category

   and for tags:
   <?php the_tags( '<p>Tags: ', ', ', '</p>'); ?>
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_tags

   in single.php

   I think you can look in the default theme provided by wordpress and copy-paste code from there =)

    Well I looked in the default WP3 theme and this is the code you can use. In the single.php , use this code to show the category and tags wherever you like :

    <?php mytheme_posted_in(); ?>

    For the above to work, add this in your functions.php file :

    if ( ! function_exists( 'mytheme_posted_in' ) ) :
    
    function mytheme_posted_in() {
    	// Retrieves tag list of current post, separated by commas.
    	$tag_list = get_the_tag_list( '', ', ' );
    	if ( $tag_list ) {
    		$posted_in = __( 'This entry was posted in %1$s and tagged %2$s. Bookmark the <a href="%3$s" title="Permalink to %4$s" rel="bookmark">permalink</a>.', 'mytheme' );
    	} elseif ( is_object_in_taxonomy( get_post_type(), 'category' ) ) {
    		$posted_in = __( 'This entry was posted in %1$s. Bookmark the <a href="%3$s" title="Permalink to %4$s" rel="bookmark">permalink</a>.', 'mytheme' );
    	} else {
    		$posted_in = __( 'Bookmark the <a href="%3$s" title="Permalink to %4$s" rel="bookmark">permalink</a>.', 'mytheme' );
    	}
    	// Prints the string, replacing the placeholders.
    	printf(
    		$posted_in,
    		get_the_category_list( ', ' ),
    		$tag_list,
    		get_permalink(),
    		the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' )
    	);
    }
    endif;

    For the excerpt for search and archives, use <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
