Several pople have asked me recently about the nice code syntax highlighting in my blog. For example:

public string Test()
{
  //Look at the pretty colors
  return "Yay!";
}

A long time ago, I wrote about using http://www.manoli.net/csharpformat/ for converting code to HTML.

But these days, I use Omar Shahine’s Insert Code for Windows Live Writer plugin for, you guessed it, Windows Live Writer. This plugin just happens to use the Manoli code to perform syntax highlighting.

I recommend downloading and referencing the CSS stylesheet from the Manoli site and making sure to uncheck the Embed StyleSheet option in the plugin.

The dropshadow around the code is some CSS I found on the net.
