 * I would like to add code examples when I am writing content for a post or page.
   I am looking for a format different than the ` tag. I see some sights with a 
   box that has 3 small lines in the bottom right corner like this site. http://
   www.studiopress.com/affiliates/120-240-banner`
 * How can I make the box that is holding the affiliate code in above example?

 * you have a `code` tab above the post editor – use that to put code examples in
   posts or pages

 * Is there a prettier way to do this than using the code tab in the editor?

 * Well, how about writing code with a style like the one in this [http://www.ejeliot.com/blog/85](http://www.ejeliot.com/blog/85)
   post?
 * Is it just using CSS or using some kind of plugin?

 * Well, no wonder why I couldn’t find one on Google, I had the keyword wrong. So
   it’s called “Syntax Highlighters”…
 * Thanks songdogtech…
