Quick Question - Probably REALLY Simple

When people go on my site and click on the categories it shows the entire post instead of just the first couple sentences. How do I change it so that it will just show the summary instead of everything?

    I see you are using HeatMap. It's quite easy actually. Though, your category/archive pages are only showing an excerpt so I don't know why you are saying they are displaying full post.

    A) Heatmap's forum has this answer - I'm pretty sure.

    OR

    B) Open archive.php, and look for this string of code:
    the_content()

    replace it with
    the_excerpt()

      The first poster helped me solve the problem already, that's why it shows the excerpt now. Thanks though.
