archives not showing excerpts or read more links

I thought this issue had been solved — https://kriesi.at/support/topic/archives-not-showing-excerpt-or-featured-image/ — with a combination of https://kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-get-a-different-layout-for-the-blog-page-without-breaking-breadcrumbs/#post-256745 using “single-small” and a tweak to the includes/loop-index.php file, which Elliot provided, but as you’ll see in my last note on https://kriesi.at/support/topic/archives-not-showing-excerpt-or-featured-image/ , that actually caused another problem.

So, I’m back to trying to add excerpts and read more links to my archive pages ( e.g., http://skidrow.org/2009/ ) — is there something I can use with that code on https://kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-get-a-different-layout-for-the-blog-page-without-breaking-breadcrumbs/#post-256745 — like “single-small-excerpt-readmore” — that’ll give me everything?

Thanks!!
