Key is to not have a tool parse the code itself: it will only highlight the regular 'known' c# keywords. Better is to work with the markup that visual studio copies to your clipboard. I use an adjusted version of a wpf tool that Kevin Moore wrote. Mail me if you want more information. Check out my blog for how it looks. Hi Jeff,

Thanks Jonas... now I'm once again confused with my decision. I suppose it might be possible to write a quick WordPress plug-in: RSS feeds get images, live site visits get the rich code experience. But it'll be a lot more work to write and maintain a post :-( Argh! Thanks Jonas… now I’m once again confused with my decision.

The reason is that I seldom include enough code to be copy-paste runnable... In my post I normally only include snippets that in it's self is useless.. I do include downloads for users who wan't to run the code. I think images is the "only" way to go to get a great RSS reader experience... And for me that is key. Personally I only "shell out" to blogs to leave comments, I do all my reading in Google Reader. Cheers, Jonas Hi Jeff,
