Sushant, it will be quite difficult to truncate the blog post text via the code. The fact is that the post can contain the html wrapped text which would be broken if you decided to truncate it in the inappropriate place. We suggest to use the 'More' option wich allows system to truncate the text without consequences. Thus, when a user adds a post, they can add this option(button) into the blog post text, then the text on the blog posts list will be truncated correctly.
