Newbie Problem starting off

Hi,

I just successfully installed WordPress, however I created a category and then placed a post in this category. The post works well when I view it from the home page. My problem is when I select the Category from the link in the left side of the page, I get just one paragraph from each post with an [a€|] at the end. There is nothing to click to view the rest of the post, I might expect there to be. Just below that I see something like:

Posted in CategoryName | Edit | No Comments ??

But the CategoryName link doesn’t really do anything, clicking it brings me right back to the list of posts with one paragraph and the [a€|] at the end.

Is there a way to make the […] go to the full post or am I missing something?

Thank you in advance.
