using clamp js to clamp lines of text
there is a css version of this as well but this version works in a greater range of browsers (i think)
this one is not working for me... i think the overflow elipsis is still a better option than this.
getting this error:
it seems to be working ok on the codepen demo, maybe its the version of jquery?
