Somebody else will be maintaining the site and I’m not sure how tech savvy they are so I was thinking if I could just give him/her a basic template for the excerpt field, then they could run from there.

    Also, if I can use a default category archive page, can I customize it a bit so that it just uses the excerpts and not the full content?
