  Hi,

  I’m still new at all this. At the moment I am writing many pages about traveling in Seoul. I didn’t want to make categorie(e.g food, museums etc) so everytime I wrote a post I made a new category for that post. Now when I click on a link on the right sidebar it only shows a snippet of the text with the Continue reading link. How can I show the full post without clicking on the continue reading link?

  Thanks.

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

  Twenty Ten is designed to show only the beginnings of posts on category and archive pages. To over-ride this you need to use the custom excerpt feature.
  Write your post as usual, the switch to the html editor and copy all the code. Paste that into the “Excerpt” module and save.

  Your formating and mages will show up, but videos won’t.
  One oddity is that the theme still inserts “continue reading” at the end of the excerpt—this makes sense if you make a custom excerpt using only part of your post but it looks a bit odd if your excerpt is the full post. If you can live with that, though excerpts are just what you need.
