 * I’ve discovered the theme I’m trying to use auto-excerpts and inserts a “read
   more” link into all the posts that takes you nowhere.
 * The site I’m building on is jessedoesntknow.com and the theme is diabolik.
 * I can’t seem to find the function in the index or functions code mainly because
   I don’t exactly know what I’m looking for..
 * Help?

 * If you are comfortable editing theme files and follow all the rules…look for 
   the_excerpt and replace with the the_content in index.php and/or the template
   used.
 * the_excerpt is just what it appears to be and the_content is the full post.

 * I looked, and it looks like the_content is used in all the right places.. what
   I don’t understand is that at the top of the post page it says “Archive for” –
   How did that happen?
 * eg: [http://www.jessedoesntknow.com/2012/01/05/](http://www.jessedoesntknow.com/2012/01/05/)
 * I’ll keep looking at the code though- other than index.php where should I look?
