Hi - My understanding is that from an SEO standpoint, it's good to have a theme that makes sure that both Categories Pages and Tags Pages will display as Excerpts in order to avoid being seen as having duplicate content on the same site.
And, my understanding is that this is something done in a Wordpress Theme when creating/setting it up: can someone please advise me on who this is done? Can I do this in the interface, or must I tweak code?
THANKS!
David

You need to do it manually, following may help:

I sometimes replace the following in archive.php
<?php if (is_search()) the_excerpt(); else the_content(__('Read the rest of this entry »', 'kubrick')); ?>
with this
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
This gives you the excerpt in tag, category and search listings. The excerpt will be your hand crafted one or the first 55 words of the post.

Hey Bob - that code works - is there a way to tweak it to get more than one except to show? I'd like the site visitor to see a number of excerpts to choose from... thanks!
