A lot of people do read information online and use online resources when figuring out how to code solutions. Online a lot of great resources can be found to support developers. One thing a lot of people do not think about however is that there is, in my opinion, some moral duty to also share back. People who do use online resources for free and learn from it and even make profit with the gathered knowledge should also share back. When you do share information it is good to remember also how you as a consumer of information would like to read the information. When it comes to code for example it is nice to see a good formated piece of code.

When placing code online it is good to do this in a way that it is formated in a nice way so that reading the code is more easy. To help you with this task when blogging you can make use of the Google Code Prettify project. The Google Code Prettify project brings you support for syntax highlighting of code snippets in a web page. For example the code part below is done by making use of this.

class Voila {
public:
  // Voila
  static const string VOILA = "Voila";

  // will not interfere with embedded tags.
}

The Google Code Prettify project has a number of options for syntax highlighting for specific languages. You can find a list of them at the google code page. here you can also find ways on how to implement the Google Code Prettify solution on your blogger page and or your customer website.
