2. After that open your blogger template (In Edit HTML mode) & copy the all css given in this link before </b:skin> tag
3. Paste the followig code before </head> tag

<script src='http://syntaxhighlighter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/Scripts/shCore.js' type='text/javascript'></script>
<script src='http://syntaxhighlighter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/Scripts/shBrushCpp.js' type='text/javascript'></script>
