The problem is how could I make sure the excerpt is truncated correctly, since the blog entries is stored in HTML code.

Your best bet would be to use
strip_tags()to remove the HTML from it and show only the first 300 or so characters usingsubstr. Otherwise you’d have to parse the HTML to break it at an appropriate place so as not to break the rest of your layout.
