How to blog code at wordpress.com

Question

got a new blog at wordpress few days ago (http://ghads.wordpress.com) and I want to post some code snippets now or then. Is there anyway to make it look like code without paying for extra plugins?

Answer 1

See here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/posting-source-code/

Wrap your code in these tags: [sourcecode language='css'] .. [/sourcecode]

(or shorter [code lang='css'] .. [/code] )

Note that Visual Editor doesn't interpret the tags, you need to click Preview to see how it works.

Available language codes:

• actionscript3
• bash
• clojure
• coldfusion
• cpp
• csharp
• css
• delphi
• erlang
• fsharp
• diff
• groovy
• html
• javascript
• java
• javafx
• matlab (keywords only)
• objc
• perl
• php
• text
• powershell
• python
• r
• ruby
• scala
• sql
• vb
• xml

Hope that helps.
