 * Can anyone help me!?!
 * On the main page of my blog, the posts seem to get cut off at a certain line 
   count or word count and you have to click on an archive link to view the entire
   post. I want it to, instead, publish the entirety of the article right on the
   main page….how can I do this??
 * I don’t know much about customizing wordpress, so a “for dummies” explanation
   would realy help………….
 * The theme I am using (which is called “modicus”) can be downloaded here: [http://www.upstartblogger.com/wordpress-theme-upstart-blogger-modicus](http://www.upstartblogger.com/wordpress-theme-upstart-blogger-modicus)
 * here’s the link to the blog: [http://ryanbrownshow.com/](http://ryanbrownshow.com/)
 * here’s a picture to help illustrate what I mean: [http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2008-10/1326426/GetHelpDude.jpg](http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2008-10/1326426/GetHelpDude.jpg)
 * Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 * Well, I’ll take the “Dude” challenge… (Not that I’ve ever seen “The Big Lebowski.”)
 * As pointed out in the comments section of the [theme author’s page](http://www.upstartblogger.com/wordpress-theme-upstart-blogger-modicus):
 *     ```
       To display the full post instead of the excerpt, open index.php and find this:
   
       < ?php the_excerpt(); ?>
   
       And change it to this (to display the whole post):
   
       < ?php the_content(); ?>
       ```

       <div id="mid" class="fix">
       	<div id="mainCol" class="fix"><a name="main"></a>
       	<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
       	<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       		<div id="postMain">
               <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
       			<div class="postMeta"><span class="date"><?php the_time('M j, Y') ?></span><span class="comments"><?php comments_popup_link('0', '1', '%'); ?></span></div>
       			<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title() ?></a></h2>
                   <h5><?php the_tags(); ?></h5>
       			<div id="mainEntry" class="entry">
                   <div id="introIMG"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" class="Tips2" title="Read More :: Click here to read the rest of this entry."><img src="<?php $key="thumbnail"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); ?>"/></a></div>
       			<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" class="Tips2" title="Read More :: Click here to read the rest of this entry."><p><?php the_content_rss('', TRUE, '', 200); ?></p></a>
       			</div>
       		</div>
               </div>
       		<?php endwhile; ?>
       		<?php else : ?>
       		<div class="post">
