 * If you have the template file `archive.php` or `category.php`, find the instance
   of the following template tag.
 * `the_excerpt()`
 * Replace it with the following.
 * `the_content()`

 * Well, the short answer is: replace the_excerpt tag with the_content tag.
 * The longer version: it’s fine now when you have 2-3 posts to show full posts,
   and I sincerely hope your blog never will be that big as the one I helped to 
   move to WP and had over 7,000 posts in one category, LOL… If you show that much
   and full content on ONE page —–
    I think it’s an “intelligent design” to have
   only excerpts in monthly or category view: when there are 30 posts in a month
   I just want a quick overview of them and let me decide which one I want to see
   in full. Don’t force the visitors to have a mile long page 🙂
 * Rant is over, it’s your blog – replace the tag in your archive.php.
