 Right now the sponsor shortcode shows the_content and the title itself is
 not linked (check https://2016.singapore.wordcamp.org/sponsors/, you'll
 have to inspect to see the hidden title output)

 The problem with this is that some sponsors are gonna have huge chunks of
 text and some aren't. So it's gonna look unequal, plus no one reads
 through that amount of text.

 An excerpt will give us a good control of what to display on the archive
 page for sponsors. And the single page will allow people who actually want
 to read about them - to ... well do so.

 I propose that the shortcode should do the following

 * Allow excerpt=$length (length being a character limit that possibly
 hooks into excerpt_length filter, and when this is on, the_content is not
 ran)
 * Allow both excerpts and content to be hidden to only show the sponsor
 image.

 If it makes sense, I'll happily submit a patch :)
