using excerpts – affecting pages

I’m using Mike Littles Journalized Sand theme. I changed the main template so it only shows excerpts on the main page. I then had to create a single.php file so the actual article would show once clicked.

However, my pages (made in wp) are still showing “excerpts” (which I do not want them to at all) and even worse, when you click the read more, it still only shows the excerpt.

Help?
