I think you’re talking about the <code>code here</code> or <pre>insert here</pre> code. “Code” is more for short small codes like I did above, and pre is for more like several lines of code.
Are you familiar with CSS? You can use whatever style you want, but I’ll do a similar style to the second example.
For the second example you showed it might look like this, and you can use images for the rounded corners, but you can also use border-radius but it doesn’t show up in IE. Customize it to give your site a nice touch and be unique and original, that’s what I’d say is the best, and to compliment your theme.

Em, thanks guys.. and yeah its what im after, Belle224 where do I add that? in the style.css? ive tried it just now but nothing! I did a background color of yellow but it didnt change! I should use the html color codes right? Thanks
Also, if you see here: http://www.darkxess.com/?p=212
Weather or not im doing it wrong, how would I activate it on my code? with a “code” and < – > etc or something like that? cant I make a custom tab in which I press with it in the tab itself so I can just put the script, then press the tab and bang! the code is in there? lol
Sorry and thanks.
Sorry I don’t understand what you mean by “tab”?
Yes, you add it to your CSS. I’d actually recommend for long lines of code to use “pre”. Here I’ve actually redid it and styled it. Enjoy! When you hover over it the rest of the code shows, I’ve tested it and it works. Instead of using <code>code here</code> for your long blocks of code, use <pre>code here</pre>.
Here’s the styling, customize it to your liking.

Oh wow! thats cool… http://www.darkxess.com/?p=212
thank you so much!!!! Rep* if they had it on here, lol… tab was I meant button in my editor! so when im writing a post etc I can just press the button with the “pre” and “/pre” inside it! get what I mean? thanks again.
Em,.. ok, spoke to soon! now it seems not working anymore!
This thread: http://www.darkxess.com/?p=212 looks fine right?
though ive took out the “pre” and “/pre” tags and its still showing! now when I put the pre tags in others threads, nothing is working! sometimes it just shows up half the code, or it mixes all the thread together like in one big post without any lines etc…
I do just make a script put the
code here and then
right?
Apart from that, its looking cool… when it works! lol
Oh, and just incase… here is the code ive got now incase its cause that:

Hm.. I’m confused of what you mean, can you show me a link of when it messes up? And the thread you said that had no pre code I checked the source and it did…? I also checked the other links on your site and it worked. Btw, simplified code, I simplified the border-radius.

Ok, added the updated code! put in the “pre” tags,.. and now look:
http://www.darkxess.com/?p=212 the tags are showing in the post!
but why? 🙁
Here is another post which ISNT working! http://www.darkxess.com/?p=209
with tags still showing in the post though.
So,.. what could I be doing wrong?
Hm, that’s really odd. I don’t think you’re doing anything wrong… maybe try changing pre to code? like instead of pre { do code {. And if all else fails and there’s no solution, make it a class or id in the CSS and then you’d insert a div when you want to add codes.
Ok, its fixed! now I should say sorry to you because it was all my fault! :S lol. I was put the tags in the normal post, NOT in the html code part when you write a post! I was doing it in the “visual” part…
So.. anyways, its fixed now, thank you so much for your help and time. 🙂
