    I would like to use like a “post header excerpt”.
    How do I do?

    Like this:
    The original header, that shows on single.php:
    “This is a really long post header”
    The header that shows on index.php:
    “This is a really…”

    Please help!

    Change the_content( into the_excerpt( in your index.php.

    I’ve allready done that.
    I want to “shorten” the header (<?php the_title(); ?>).

    ???

    Ah, you mean the title?

    <?php echo substr($post->post_title,19) . "..."; ?>

    Thank you, but we aint there yet…
    <?php echo substr($post->post_title,19) . “…”; ?> cuts the title from the wrong direction… From the beginning.
    Like this

    Original title:
    “This is a really long post header”
    With yout script:
    “ng post header…”

    <?php echo substr($post->post_title,0,19) . "..."; ?>

    You should make it conditional, btw, or you’ll always stuck with those ‘…’:

    <?php
  if (strlen($post->post_title) >= 19 )
    echo substr($post->post_title,0,19) . "...";
  else
    echo $post->post_title;
?>
