    I'd like to show post excerpts instead of full posts on the category and search pages, but not on the home page. What's the best way to set that up?

    Thanks Jeremi, but I still want the syndication feeds to show the full articles.

    What I mean is when a category (eg: http://www.littlevictorian.com/category/ourhouse) is clicked on within my site, to show excerpts of the posts instead of the full posts.

    Anyone know?

    Please?

    I know I can create a category.php file, but I don't know how to write those from scratch yet. Anyone know of a basic template I could copy? I could probably figure out the rest from there...
