    I saw on blogspot blogger that after 60 words they ends the, but actual post title is too long, my question is can we do this in wordpress, mean yourdomain.com/date/first-60-words-of-post.html
    this is an example.
    if Yes, then how????

    You ask about thing which looks more like keyword stuffing, forgetting about
    alt tag for pics & title for links, categories, page description and it's keywords.

    It hardly will add weight for your resource & only maybe 1-3 people from 100
    will be able to recall whole 60 symbols address from memory without Favorites.

    I would refer to more active use of social bookmarks, creating site page on FB
    and Twitter for "word of mouth", caring ~ frequent updates of unique content.

    ok let me put it this way.... no one is going to remember the whole 60 word title of the post. so what @luckypunjab was saying, is that you should use things like bookmarks and social media to get it out there. and search engines MAY look at the long title as a keyword stuffing process, and they may look down upon this. i would be very careful.

    Not a very clever thing to do in my own opinion - the beginning of most articles (excluding the title) doesn't usually contain the phrases I'm looking for.

    However, it can be done easily with a Wordpress plugin - try something along the following lines:
    
    function first_words_slug($slug) {
        global $wpdb;
    	if ($slug) return $slug;
    
        // title length in words
        $title_length = 5;
    
        return sanitize_title(implode(' ',array_slice(explode(' ',$_POST['content']),0,$title_length)));
    }
    
    PHP:
    Hook that code to a *_save_pre event (add_filter() should do it) and your all set. :)

    You will have to make a custom plugin. Hooks are provided by wordpress to fire sections of code on certain events. Look Here. Take a look at the *_save_pre event events.

    ok. I've made a plugin for you, here:
    
    <?php
    /*
    Plugin Name: Dynamic Content Slugs
    Plugin URI: http://www.dirtymonkey.co.uk
    Description: Creates slugs from the first n number of words in the post content
    Version: 0.1
    Author: Matt. 'Deacalion' Stevens      
    */
    
    add_filter('wp_insert_post_data', 'first_words_slug');
    
    function first_words_slug($data) {
        
        // title length in words
        $title_length = 5;
        
        // build slug from post content
        $data['post_name'] = sanitize_title(implode(' ', array_slice(explode(' ',$data['post_content']),0, $title_length)));
        
        return $data;
    }
    ?>
    
    PHP:
    Save it to wp-content/plugins/first-word-slugs/contentSlugs.php, activate - then every post you make will have slugs based on the content.

    I found a plugin that cut the unnecessary words for url automatically and make the url more search friendly

    Okay, great! I thought you could just change the permalinks to %postname% or something like that??
