 * Hello Folks- I am trying to add the text of my comments to the front of my site.
   It works- but if someone copy and pastes a long link to a news article, it runs
   from outside the side bar. Is there a way to make text that is too long to run
   into the next line?

 * One way: place the comment contents in div using a css class with an `overflow:
   hidden` property, so any text which goes beyond the width of the div will *disappear*:
 * `.home_comment {
    overflow: hidden; width: 250px; }
 * Using `overflow: auto;` would also work by placing comment text in a scroll-able
   frame.
 * But if you’d like a method for actually breaking the text up, let me know as 
   I have an experimental plugin that does just this.

 * I’ve used that to truncate links, works like a charm 🙂

 * Thats an awesome plugin! Thank you 🙂
 * But thanks to Kafkaesqui as well- I am a newbie with css so that is some good
   info. I shall use it as well. Thanks 🙂

 * That plugin isn’t working for me, and so I’m having some of the same issues..
   a long hyperlink throws my whole design out of whack
