In an earlier entry (Format C# or .NET Code for your Blog or Website), I linked to manoli.net/csharpformat as a great web site for formatting C# or .NET Code for you blog. Clint Rutkas pointed out that Windows Live Writer has a plug-in that uses Jean-Claude Manoli's library: Insert Code for Windows Live Writer. So far, I haven't been using Windows Live Writer although everyone recommends it; now I have a compelling reason to check it out!
In my last post, Basic Scripts for Windows Server, I posted some code onto my blog. I found a great website for formating C#, VB, HTML, XML, and Powershell Code. I also added a gray background to the code by adding a style to the <pre> tag:
<PRE style="BACKGROUND: #dddddd"
I was recently reminded of a great video I saw on Diane Curtis's blog. Three University of Washington women who venture into the professional world at Amazon.com, Google, and Microsoft.
