   Free blog space for programmers?
  Hi!I was thinking about giving something back to the community, but I neither have the time nor the patience to write complete articles or tutorials. That's why I think it's a good idea to start writing a blog where I share the information I find and the discoveries I make. BUT (and this is the big but) since this is going to be mainly a programming blog I find syntax highlighting (through source tags or by other means) a must.So to sum it up in one simple question:Does anyone know of any decent free blog spaces with support for syntax highlighting?
  lol, i might even say it's a bit cheeky asking that here, where a blog is provided for a price....   ;  Blogspot is free, and I'm sure you can run the code through a HTML syntax highlighter before hand.   ;  Welshy:Oh... I didn't actually know that! Would an administrator delete this post if they find it "cheeky" (as Welshy called it ;) of me to ask this question here?   ;Quote:Original post by RavuyaBlogspot is free, and I'm sure you can run the code through a HTML syntax highlighter before hand.It is but it has that stupid bar at the top if you don't pay. But that's nothing a little <noscript><body></noscript><body> can't fix.   ;Quote:Original post by PumpkinPiemanIt is but it has that stupid bar at the top if you don't pay.

I dunno... abide by the terms and conditions considering it's a pretty good free service and the bar is pretty unobtrusive.  They even let you pick from four different colours so you can match it to your theme.In any case, I don't know of any free services that offer syntax highlighting, but blogger works pretty well, and as Ravuya suggested, you could simply use a tool that outputs syntax highlighted html for you.Other than that, you could get yourself a GDNet+ membership; you get some other nifty stuff, support GDNet, and you'd have a journal which supports the forum's source tags.   ;Quote:Original post by KazgorothOr you could just...

It's not as obtrusive as something angelfire would stick on their page, but giving just 4 colour choices doesn't made it anything less then screen snot.at any rate, it was just a suggestion.I myself haven't come by anything like that, it would be nice if I could though. I have 2 blogs linked to my main website for news updating and a little source stuff would go a long way for the dev journal.   ;  Also remember that having an active GDNet+ journal is practically an invitation to get 200-300 point boosts in your rating. It's crazy how fast people's ratings go up.   ;Quote:Original post by RavuyaAlso remember that having an active GDNet+ journal is practically an invitation to get 200-300 point boosts in your rating.
