# Example: syndication entry title length limit

You can implement a custom feed based on the following example that limits the length of RSS entry titles.

In the Visual Studio Web application project, add a class based on the following example:

```csharp
namespace Sitecore.Sharedsource.Syndication {
	using System;
	using System.ServiceModel.Syndication;

	public class LimitedTitleFeed: Sitecore.Syndication.PublicFeed
	{
		protected override SyndicationItem RenderItem(Sitecore.Data.Items.Item item)
		{
			SyndicationItem entry = base.RenderItem(item);

			int titleLengthLimit;

			if (this.FeedItem != null

			&& Int32.TryParse(this.FeedItem["TitleLengthLimit"], out titleLengthLimit))

			{

				string title = entry.Title.Text.Substring(0, titleLengthLimit - 3);

				title = title.TrimEnd(new[] {
					' ',
					',',
					';'
				}) + "...";

				entry.Title = new TextSyndicationContent(title);
			}

			return entry;
		}
	}
}

```

In the **Content Editor**, create a feed based on the custom feed data template.

In the Content Editor, in the feed definition item, in the `TitleLengthLimit` field, enter the maximum number of characters to allow in the title of a syndication entry.

In the **Content Editor**, in the feed definition item, in the Extensibility section, in the Type field, enter the signature of the .NET type, such as the following:

`Sitecore.Sharedsource.Syndication.SelectionFeed, Assembly`
