Using the current tools in the GIS blog results in loss off source code formatting, when switching from the HTML to the View tab.

As a workaround, I think we should try the syntaxhighlighter plugin for wordpress.

Looks a good tool - if the Stack Exchange Employees accept it and install it we can use it.

Detailed instructions for the install are here:

(I am not sure if this would affect other overflow SE sites?)

    +1 I think it would be important to have a tool like this. I found that I need good source code support in every second blog post. Commented Oct 17, 2011 at 19:39

I've found storing code snippets as gists - https://gist.github.com/gists and then linking these in via JavaScript a good approach for including code in wordpress.
