This is actually bothering me. The old way was to show all project 
updates for the current month. 2 things with this:

1) On the first few days of the month, conceivably no updates will show 
up. Also updates occuring on the last day of the month would only be 
posted on that one day, not giving it the exposure it merits.

2)If we have 100 updates for the month, we show 100 updates for the 
month. Once again having a really long project updates section.

So my idea was to show the last 5 updates. Should we limit the size of 
the text in the database? Or should I just cut the text on the front end 
and have a 'more' link?

Personally, I like a combination. Limit the description to 100 chars. 
Have a 'more' link where you can be verbose.

Salam.

p.s. Anmar, does everyone in canada get a @canada.com edress?
