Safari: Hide images in RSS feeds

I frequently don't like images showing up in my RSS feeds. To me, RSS is a quick way to read just text. So, I used a custom stylesheet to tell Safari to hide images in RSS feeds (images on web sites will still display normally).

Use a text editor like TextWrangler (free) to make a new file. Paste in the following:

@charset "UTF-8"; .apple-rss-article-body img{display:none};
Save the file somewhere safe as noimg.css (the extension is important) and set Safari to use it as the user stylesheet:

Safari » Preferences » Advanced » Stylesheet:.

Quit and reopen Safari, and take a look at an RSS feed with images. You shouldn't see any.

[crarko adds: I haven't tested this one. I agree that RSS, like email, should be a text only medium.]
