  Is there a way to format code in a post (similar to formatting something like a blockquote)? In particular with fixed-width font and other extra styling?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Well, the blockquote function exists in every theme here. What specific formatting changes do you want to make? You can use basic HTML to format posts here, just not iframes, etc.

  There is a pre formatted option that gives a mono spaced font

  Commonly, embed code styling includes line numbers and fixed-width font. Often it is also blocked out from the rest of the text. Several wp plugins exist to implement these features, however, none are included in the default plugin set for wordpress.com hosted blogs.

  I think this is the code for pre-formatted – I have only used it a few times
