Changes to the Blog Page Template question

[bramsey]

Here is the website page I am referring to:
http://www.thesharedjourney.com/blog/

I just want the blog page to show all the posts from every category as I post them without sectioning them into categories. Right now I have one post and it is showing up in 3 different boxes. As my site grows, I don't want the separate boxes. I just want the posts, regardless of category, to show up one after the other.

Also, I want the entire post to show up, not just an excerpt of the post and followed by a (...).

I have attempted to edit the page_blog.php template, but none of the changes are reflected on my blog page, so I don't know what I am doing wrong.

How do I make these 2 changes to the template that this page is pulling from.

Any suggestions would really help!

So far, this is what I have done:
In the Reading Settings in Wordpress, my home page is a static page and the posts page is set to my "blog" page. Under the Lifestyle Theme Options page, I changed the "select which category you want displayed" to "all categories".

Thanks in advance for your help! :smile:
