 * I want to display my categories in the same was as the archives, but at the moment
   I’m using an excerpt and its not allowing any links or images to work, which 
   kind of defeats the purpose.
 * Is there a category template that will display all the entries in the same way
   as their displayed on the main index template? but still limit the post to the
   original cut/excerpt length?

 * Sure, just build one for your theme. Have a look at these two articles:
 * [Template_Hierarchy](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy)
    [Category_Templates](http://codex.wordpress.org/Category_Templates)

 * Ahh, yes, xhan104 needs to make a custom Category Template, but also is asking
   for a way to display the_excerpt WITH links and images, right?

 * Ok, that’d be something like this plug: [http://guff.szub.net/2005/02/26/the-excerpt-reloaded/](http://guff.szub.net/2005/02/26/the-excerpt-reloaded/)
