  I want to find a theme that does not have infinite scroll, but instead has an archive feature at the bottom of the home page. I have not been able to find one. Can someone help me with the search feature?
  A good example of what I’m talking about is on my other blog http://connectingspiritwithlife.wordpress.com/

  and if you look on the home page, that’s what it does. Can you help me find some other Themes that are like that? ALL of them seem to have infinite scroll!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  There are no other themes like that. The theme you are looking for is Chateau.

  P.S. If I am wrong then justpi will correct me and provide the names of any other themes with “concise format archive styles”.

  thanks timethief. Seems strange that Chateau is the only one that does that. I’ll be waiting for Justpi to jump in this conversation and maybe he knows of another one?

  Thank you.

  I’m not holding my breath because I don’t think there are any others with exactly that “concise Archives” format as an optional theme feature that can be selected.

  Whether or not full posts are displayed on Categories Pages and Archives pages is theme dependent ie. it’s coded into the template and we cannot edit templates or themes. http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/editing-themes/

  In the majority of themes, posts on category or other archive pages show up just as they do on the main posts page in the blog and the number displayed is also the same. (See this page > Settings > Reading and note how many posts you choose there sets it for all). But in some themes only the beginnings of posts are shown, and in a few themes you only get titles or thumbnails. See here for a theme list of themes that may display the way you want > Category/archive pages: full posts or not http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/03/25/full-posts-in-archive-pages/
