Syntax Highlighting on Blogger

Given the Volatile nature of the internet I have opted to repost a very useful and straightforward blog post from BlogSpot. The Post outlines how to add syntax highlighting to your Blogger blog account. Also If you are using Windows Live Writer to post your blogs there is a plugin to allow you to add  Syntax Highlighting for your language of choice right from the app.

1.Login to your blogger dashboard--> layout- -> Edit HTML
2.Now Scroll down to where you see </head> tag .
3.Copy below code and paste it just before the </head> tag.
