In addition to the above, you can also do the truncating in the
add/edit methods by including a new column in the table, intro. Then,
before saving a Post, add a new key, 'intro', to the data with the
truncated body/content as value. By doing it this way, you can specify
that you want the intro column, not body/content in your $paginate.
Otherwise, you'll be needlessly fetching the entire content of each
Post in index action.
