If your havin a hard time following what im tryin to say, hit me up at 464 / 281 / 250
Update on this for those who are interested.

Wordpress looks for the tag-slug.php, then tag.php, then archive.php, then index.php for the template it uses for tags.

If you're not using <!--more--> or whatever in your posts...there's a plugin

The excerpt reloaded....that you can use to set excerpt parameters for posts however you want.


I'd still like more feedback on the SEO benefits of not letting your category and tag pages be indexed....if there is any benefit.
