 * Ok so through some trial and error I found which file controls that page. Its
   the blogcat.php. I made some changes to it but I didn’t get what I was looking
   for.
 * Here’s the code.
 *     ```
       <span class="current-category">
       <?php single_cat_title('Currently Browsing: ', 'display'); ?>
       </span>
   
       <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
         if( $post->ID == $do_not_duplicate ) continue; update_post_caches($posts); ?>
   
         <?php $thumb = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Thumbnail', $single = true); ?>
           <div class="post-wrapper" style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
               <h1 class="post-title" style="margin-top: 0px"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>">
                   <?php the_title(); ?>
                   </a></h1>
               <div class="post-info" style="margin-bottom: 15px;">Posted by
                  <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?>
                   on
                   <?php the_time('M jS, Y') ?>
                   | <a href="#respond" title="<?php _e("Leave a comment"); ?>">
                   <?php comments_number('no responses','one response','% responses'); ?>
                   </a></div>
               <div style="clear: both;"></div>
   
               <?php if($thumb !== '') { ?>
       <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/timthumb.php?src=<?php echo $thumb; ?>&h=200&w=200&zc=1" alt="<?php if($thumb_alt !== '') { echo $thumb_alt; } else { echo the_title(); } ?>"  class="blogthumbnail" /></a>
       <?php } else { echo ''; } ?>
   
               <?php the_content_limit(600); ?>
   
           </div>
                   <div style="clear: both;"></div>
               <?php endwhile; ?>
   
       <div style="clear: both;"></div>
       <?php if(function_exists('wp_pagenavi')) { wp_pagenavi(); }
       else { ?>
       <p class="pagination">
           <?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Previous Entries') ?>
           <?php previous_posts_link('Next Entries &raquo;') ?>
       </p>
       <?php } ?>
       <?php else : ?>

       <!--End if no results are found-->
       <?php endif; ?>
       ```
   
 * I tried replacing the line <?php the_content_limit(600); ?> with the_content 
   and my results were not what I wanted. When I made this change the text under
   the titles disappeared. Any ideas?

 * So I checked home.php and none of them referenced any of the php’s that you listed.
   Have any idea what I might be looking for in those file to figure out why I have
   no formatting on the main page and then how to fix it?

 * Nope there is no wordpress page called blog under pages. The setup for the blog
   page is actually controlled through the themes control panel under appearance.
   Under page navigation in this panel I have the option to turn on and off the 
   blog link and change the what the blog page tab says and thats about it.

           <?php else : ?>
           <!--If no results are found-->

 * There is nothing in any other file with the_content in the theme and none with
   the_excerpt.

 * So I just tried to add an excerpt to a post and the theme ignores the excerpt
   completely. I even tried typing in something totally different and it ignores
   that field completely. I am not sure if its actually using the excerpt feature
   when it makes it own because it brings over more than 55 words. It will bring
   over my entire post to the main page but its totally unformatted.
 * Any other ideas? Or what file do I need to look at to figure out whats up with
   theme.
