Looking for a WP plugin

[Toni]

Is there a WordPress plugin that can display shortened titles of the latest or selected posts?

Dont really need a plugin, you could add this to your functions.php in your theme directory.

function short_title($after = '', $length) {
	$mytitle = get_the_title();
	if ( strlen($mytitle) > $length ) {
	$mytitle = substr($mytitle,0,$length);
	echo $mytitle . $after;
	} else {
	echo $mytitle;
	}
}

then call it from your template

<?php short_title('...', 40); ?>

40 being the characters for the title, and ... being after the title.
