    Have a small question
 * On my webpage i have a sidebar. A category list.
    Some of the posts in my categories
   have a long title. Is there at way to set a max. length or maybe (except) / read
   more. on a category sitebar widget – and where in my files should i look. ?
 * you know like : bla bla bla bla … read more
 * Also in the same category sidebar widget, i would like to have
    a featured images,
   from one of the posts in the category. (Ex. the first image).
 * Any of you made some code that can do that?
    Really not much for plugins. I would
   like to code it in
 * Really hope some of you can help
 * Cheers | C yaaa
