How to restrict the space taken up by feed entries

Some recent posts on [syndicated profile] geekfeminism_feed have reminded me to appreciate this code trick, which goes in the "custom CSS" box under Customize Style. I originally got the code from [personal profile] zvi, and have adjusted it experimentally till the frame it creates fits in my browser window:

/* max-height for syndicated journals on reading page */
.page-read .journal-type-Y .entry-content {
max-height: 50em;
overflow: auto;
}

It reduces the post I was just reading from about 8 screensful to one, with an internal scroll-bar. Replace "page-read" by "page-network" for your network page, and adjust the number in max-height to fit your viewing preferences.

As long as feeds don't include anything that Dreamwidth can recognise as a cut, this'll continue to make a massive difference to the amount of scrolling I have to do.
