Do you like posting source code samples on your blog?
I wasn’t sure how. I just surrounded it with “<pre>” tags. That works in the basic sense. What about the syntax highlighting and line numbers?

It also revealed Google’s syntax highlighter for when Javascript libraries are doable.
Pretty simple. Thanks Google and Wordpress.
