I wanted to start a programming related blog where I will be occasionally be posting code snippets. Primarily C and Python but also some Scala. I was looking for a blogging system that will help me do some code highlighting and indenting. Which service will you recommend? Or should I host my own and if so using which my software?
How about this: <a href="http://code.google.com/p/syntaxhighlighter/" rel="nofollow">http://code.google.com/p/syntaxhighlighter/</a><p>It works with WordPress, MoveableType, etc.
I remembered this discussion from before, perhaps this will help you:<p>WordPress or TypePad or....?
'd like to start a blog and I am wondering which platform HN suggests. Thanks for voting/discussing!

Blogging platform: Wordpress or Webby?<p>I'm relaunching my blog and I'm considering two platforms, Wordpress and Webby/Webgen/staticfiles. I plan to use disqus comments for both, and my requirements include easy embedding of media and syntax-colored code.<p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=338485" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=338485</a>
Rolling one's own is always a nice little project, but whether that's the right option for you will depend on whether you're prepared to take the time to do it, or if you have other priorities. Installing WordPress takes a couple of minutes if you want a decent amount of control over your software but without the hassle of writing your own, and there are plenty of decent themes and syntax highlighting plugins out there.
