When I started my code snippet into my blog, I used <pre></pre> to make it as pre-formated text. However, it is ugly without syntax highlight.
There are many WordPress plugins that can add the syntax highlight to various languages (just to go Plugins-> Add New-> Search for Syntax Highlight, you will find plenty). The one that I picked is called “Prettify GC Syntax Highlighter”. It uses the Google Code style highlight and has various control. Check the developer’s website for more information.
