[thesite] New Look Tip Harvester

[Dean Mah]

First N characters of what?

- The canonical tip type?  Most of the tip tips are short in length so
  link only parts of it doesn't make sense.

- The given tip type?  A lot or most of the tips do not have types
  assigned to them by their authors.

- The subject?  Pulled from the message usually doesn't make sense
  since the message subject and the tip are usually independent.

- The tip?  There's probably not enough context in the beginning of a
  tip to make this useful, especially for code fragments.  Although we
  could try it.  What would column would you put this under?
