Is it possible to restrict the amount of characters so I can get just a snippet of news when I use this?

Cheers

Hey,
open up newscast\framework\theme_widgets\sidebar_news.php and replace
```
the_excerpt();
```
with:
```
$content = get_the_excerpt();
echo substr(strip_tags($content), 0, 200);
```
You can replace "200" with any (positive) value - it controls the amount of characters.
