Allow headline box to show full post? (Cover WP theme)

Hello,

I’m currently designing a fansite found here. I love the theme, it looks and works wonderfully. The only thing I would like to change is how the post excerpt in the headlines box is displayed. Ideally, I would like it to show the full post properly formatted and cut off when I use the “insert more tag” in the WP post editor (like many other traditional blogging themes). I tried to follow the details in this thread, but replacing the code as specified caused there to be syntax errors and the page wouldn’t load beyond that error message.

I’m not familiar enough with code to go in there and start playing with things myself. Would anyone know what I’d have to change to just display the full, properly formatted post, in the headlines box?

Thank you in advance,

Chris
