  You can f***ing put them in a Vodpod widget, or you can stick them up your ass.

  Can anyone recommend a method by which I can upload source code then? I really don’t want to pack a bunch of source code into a .doc or pdf file.

  I would embed it in a post beneath the fold or a page. The source code embedding here has some bells and whistles:

  How do I post source code?

  Or upload it as txt and advise users to change the file extension.

  The vodpod solution is no longer valid since WordPress asked vodpod to make sure that their button only worked with flash video.

  My suggestion would be to check at box.net or another file sharing service and see if they accept zips. If so, you can upload the source code as a zip there, and then link to it in your blog post.

  Thanks for the feedback guys. I tried box.net. Unfortunately that domain appears to be blocked here at work(blogging at work??).

  I found a place named mediafire(http://www.mediafire.com), and it appears to offer what I need. Thanks again.
