On the main index, I'm looking to trim posts to approx 25 words. In MT's tag documentation, under Entries, the attribute for words or trim_to are listed very obscurely on the page. However, this doesn't tell me where in my code I need to put them to work. If I'm looking for 25 or so words, is words the best choice? Or is trim_to? What's the difference?
Also, given the following code, where should I put it to make it work?
Thanks in advance for any/all help!
