  Hi,

  I would like to post source code on my blog. I found how to do it but it does not work.
  Do I install a plugin or upgrade in order to make it work?

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

  Hi!

  The main method for posting source code to your blog is through wrapping the text in code tags. The method is laid out here:

  Can you give that a try?

  Hi!

  I have seen it but it doesn’t work. I’m trying to post powershell code.
  Could the reason be that it is not a self-hosted blog. Instead it is hosted at WordPress.com

  Hi,

  Can you make sure you’re wrapping the code in the specific code tags? Otherwise, the code will be stripped. It will need to be formatted like this:

  [code]Insert code here[/code]

  Also, please make sure you’re in the Text Editor when you give this a try:

  Let me know if you have any trouble!

  Hi,

  Now I got it to work! The problem was not the text editor but I thought it was text that I should use instead of [Code]text[/Code]
  Cheers!
