Archived Posts in Wordpress only appear as links, not as short summaries

    Any thoughts on why this might be would be much appreciated! When I click on the link for archived posts in my blog, I would expect short blurbs (with the picture(s) to appear, but instead there is just a one line title link, nothing else. I've scoured the site admin options but can't find a way to fix it (it's probably looking me right in the face). Many thanks!

    it could be that the theme author coded it that way..
    what theme are you using? I'm asking because you may have to change some code on the file called archive.php..it sounds like it's missing this piece of code here:

    <div class="entry">
    					<?php the_excerpt() ?>
    				</div>
    Code (markup):

    Thanks, I'll check that out. I'm currently using a theme called Darklight, which I need to change anyway, so maybe I'll just take that easy way out. I'm no good and finding the right parts of code and fixing them. Much obliged . . .
