 * Could someone be just a little more definitive on this because I am reading this
   and nothings coming into focus on this.

 * The category template in your theme (likely category.php, or possibly archive.
   php if no category.php resides with it) is using:
 * `<?php the_excerpt(); ?>`
 *  [http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_excerpt](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_excerpt)
 * rather than:
 * `<?php the_content(); ?>`
 *  [http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_content](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_content)
 * to display the text of your posts. The former _cuts off_ or abbreviates the entire
   text, and is what you are seeing on your site. If you change `the_excerpt()` 
   to `the_content()` in the template, you’ll get the full text of each post.
