Hi guys, I use Wordpress as a CMS, where the front page is static for the most part and the actual blog part of it has been moved to a new page that uses a custom page template that basically acts as if it were the front page on a standard Wordpress install.

Hey bloggers out there! I've created Wordpress blog that I am hosting myself, and I'm having the hardest time figuring out the best way to add C# snippets to my blog. What do you all use?
