How to load only 20% content on blog overview page ? Because it load very long, when I have a lot of blogs. I want it to load 20% content and load 100% when I click the link on specific blog.

Is this what you're looking for?

In /ow_plugins/blogs/controllers/blog.php look for this code, line 135 in my file.

$text = explode("<!--more-->", $dto->getPost());

Change it to:

$text = explode("<!--more-->", UTIL_String::truncate( strip_tags($dto->getpost()), 200, "<!--more-->" )  );

Change the 200 to however long or short you want the description.
No idea if this is right or wrong way to do it but it works.
Havent tried this on 1.7.2 though

Glad it works for you,
I'm using this on the latest release as well, 1.8.1 and it works fine.
