   Hello.

   I have a section in my WP 2.7 blog with Recent Posts, but due to design i only want to show the first 50 chars of the_title(); of the posts.

   Is that possible ?
   Thanks in advance!

   Assuming in a post loop, like
   

   <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

   then this in the loop would work:
   <?php echo 'shortened title ' .substr($post->post_title,0,50) ; ?>
