 * Is there any way to have it display less text on the links it creates, an adjustable
   amount would be great! Right now some of my catlists go on for days look quite
   unorganized and could be solved by keeping the links short and to one line. This
   option would be a great addition!

 * Is there another post related to this question? I hate to start another link.
   I believe devlin85 was asking this question.
 * What would the code be to limit each title link to display a set number of characters?
 * Thank you, great plugin…

 * Do you mean for the title? Shorter text for the post’s title link? I could implement
   something like that…

 * Thanks for quick reply.
 * Yes, the displayed links. I would like to use three column structure so I need
   to control the length, limiting it by characters would be best with a … if possible.
