Help, Mark / t31os!

Thank you very much for this nice codes, It’s a while that I was looking for it. But, I’m very new to coding! May you please explain what do you mean of // YOUR TITLE TRUNCATING CODE GOES HERE. I want the max characters of 20 in the post titles in the default Recent Posts widget, which I’m using in sidebar.
I tried to replace “// YOUR TITLE ..” with a code! but It bounced a fatal error. what I did: from this code:
<?php echo ‘shortened title ‘ .substr($post->post_title,0,20) ; ?>

copied :
echo ‘shortened title ‘ .substr($post->post_title,0,20) ;

and pasted it in place of // YOUR TITLE TRUNCATING CODE GOES HERE.

I know that to you it seems funny.
Please, tell me how can I get it done? what is my truncating code? exactly where should I insert it? Thanks a lot.
