The Code Snippet Plugin, my favourite syntax highlighter plugin for WordPress

Posted by Daniel - 5,851 Views

There is no doubt that I need a WordPress plugin to highlight my code examples for this blog. It’s a requirement since I publish many programming code example within this blog. I had tried some of them, mostly from the WordPress plugin repository. All of them are relatively good but if I ask myself which one is my favorite I choose CodeSnippet Plugin. Why? Most of the syntax highlight plugins I had tested did not perfectly display their formatted code with my current theme, while CodeSnippet does, it’s perfectly blend with my theme. I guess the first good impression what makes me choose to use the CodeSnippet but please remember that this is my opinion only, some of you may think that my opinion is not correct.

Adding those social bookmarking buttons at the end of your post

It is a good option to add the social bookmarking buttons at the end of your post right? The easiest way to do it is by using one of the available plugin called Add Me Dichev, it is a bundle of social bookmarker buttons packed as a WordPress plugin by Alexander Dichev. It will insert some even many social bookmarking buttons at the of end your post. All you need to do is install it to have it setup. That simple BUT unfortunately it does not happen here on my blog.

Somehow the installation of Add Me Dichev is crashing the ContuttoPDF - a php warning message - header already sent (something like that) and it will stop the ContuttoPDF plugin to work - too bad since I like both plugins, so I decide to disable the Add Me Dichev plugin but keep trying to have the feature of it by adding it into the page outside the plugin system or manually as a pure php function.
