 * Is there a plugin to insert custom snippets of code into a post? It would make
   posting a lot easier.

 * Are you trying to add code examples for users to read and reuse, or so you can
   execute code for functionality purposes on your post?

 * I’d like to make code snippets to easily insert them into my posts. It’s easier
   than having to type the code everytime I post something.

 * Still not really sure what you want.
 * Maybe this: [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/syntaxhighlighter/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/syntaxhighlighter/)
   
   or this: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API](http://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API)
   or this: [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exec-php/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exec-php/)

 * Andrew, can you clarify what you are trying to do? Either execute code snippets
   on posts, or display them in a tutorial like fashion for visitors?
 * If you are trying to execute code you should create shortcodes as the visual 
   editor will remove code you put into it
 * If you want them to display for readers, there are good plugins out there to 
   do that, Syntax Highlighter noted by keesiemeijer above is a really good one

 * Oh, I mean say a set of buttons on the post page that can insert code when you
   press them. Like preformatted tables or divs etc…
 * Thank you,

 * Sounds like you’re looking to add shortcodes to the TinyMCE bar.
 * Look for something like this plugin to help:
    [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/shortcodes-pro/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/shortcodes-pro/)
 * Or look at writing your own shortcodes in the theme functions.php
