   My "automatic excerpt" only appear on the front page, but not in the categories or archives. I want the excerpt to appear everywhere in my site, not just the front page. Does someone know a way to do this that they could tell me about?

   Most likely you need to change your theme's category.php and/or archive.php file.

   Look for the_content( .. may be settings here .. );

   change it to the_excerpt() with nothing between the parentheses

   make a copy of the file(s) you change before changing anything. Some themes don't have a category.php file and also use the archive.php file for categories.

   Thanks very much for your help. Yes I made the change in my archive.php and it created excerpts in my categories and archives. Great!
