Blog Will Only Display Excerpt

Despite checking both the blog.php code and the Reading settings, I can't get my blog page to display the full posts, but only the excerpts. I would greatly appreicate help with this issue. I've included the code of my blog.php in order to help sort out the problem.

Sincerely,

Code:

<?php
/*
Template Name: Blog Page
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<!--Start Content Wrapper-->
<div class="grid_24 content_wrapper">
  <div class="grid_16 alpha">
    <?php
            $limit = get_option('posts_per_page');
            $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
            query_posts('showposts=' . $limit . '&paged=' . $paged);
            $wp_query->is_archive = true; $wp_query->is_home = false;
            ?>
    <!--Start Content-->
    <div class="content">
      <?php //if (function_exists('inkthemes_breadcrumbs')) inkthemes_breadcrumbs(); ?>

Priyanka,

That wasn't the solution - as I'd already had the blog.php setup that way - but I did find a solution and wanted to share with the boards. Check your settings under: Settings > Reading > Posts Page. I had mine set to my blog page which screwed it up and only displays summaries. But if you choose "-- Select --" your page will show the full posts again.

I hope this helps others, and thank you for your time!
Jessie
