Yeah so this little thing has been driving me mad now :/
All i want is a shorter title, i got some "lastest posts" in the side column, its just i only want each post title to fill around 20 words and thereby 1 line i've tryid with the substr funktion but it didnt work out :/
like
TITLE LINK GOES HE..
TITLE LINK GOES HE..
TITLE LINK GOES HE..
I've search around and cant find anyone mention this, only about cutting of the content.. but i just wanna cut of the title or shorten it if you want :/

Google amazes me :)
... and that does work, your just not using it properly, or in the right place. One or both of the two.

yeah ok let me specify it a bit :/
if (is_home()) {
$myposts = get_posts('numberposts=10&offset=1');
foreach($myposts as $post) :
?>
">
(this line doesnt work)<?php substr(the_title(), 0, 15);?>
<?php endforeach; }?>
I've tryid to put the_title into a $ like $t = the_title()
But i guess u cant put a fucktion inside a varible
what you refur to is pretty much what i've already done, he has also writen it into a funktion :/
but well gonna try a bit and see what im gonna end up with ( probely some bruses from banging my head down the keyboard)
Anyway this should be pretty simple, im just a bit rusty :P would be nice if someone could just work out that tiny little line :P
