 * I would like to assign a class to the first word in both a **post title** & a**
   widget title**. For Example: if the widget title were “My Thoughts” I would want
   the output to be …
 * <h3><span class=”first>My</span> Thoughts</h3>
 * I am very inexperienced in PHP just doing basic modifications to make custom 
   themes.
