 * Anybody knows how can i put a limit of characters that appear on Recent Posts?
   When i add a long tittle my footer stays terrible! The code i use is:
 * <?php query_posts(‘showposts=3’); ?>
    <ul class=”recent-posts”> <?php while (
   have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> # ” rel=”bookmark” title=”<?php _e(‘Permanent 
   link to’); ?> <?php the_title(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?>
 * <?php endwhile;?>
 * I’ve tried some plugins but nothing works. Please help me!!
 * Ps: sorry about my english, i’m brazilian 🙂
