Is there a way to make it so that when a user is submitting a post, then it will automatically truncate and make it into a "read more"? What I mean is that say User is making a submission and it's 1500 words long with pictures, fancy HTML, etc, etc. Now, Admin gets home from a long hard day at work and sees he has a submission. So he sees the title and hits "ok" because it's from a friend of his. In the morning Admin wakes up and sees that the post in fact takes up his ENTIRE FREAKING FRONT PAGE and then some. Is there a way to make a submission automatically truncate when it's over, say, 250 words, and have a "read more" link to it?
