How to :Write Code in a Post using Elliot Swan’s Postable

Have you ever wanted to put code into a post without it being interpreted as code? A while ago I was trying to write a page to include code for buttons for my blog. After much struggling with the WYSIWYG editor I eventually managed to write it. If only I had seen this post from Elliot Swan ‘Allow me to introduce you to my new little app Postable’ then it would have been much easier!

Postable is an app to transform your code into Post-friendly code. For example below is a button I made for my blog. I entered the code for the button using the ‘code’ tab in the editor. I then pasted the code into Postable and copied the output below the code for the button. The result below allows me to display the button and also the code for the button below it without it being interpreted as code.

Here’s the Code

<a href=”http://antiguawebsolutions.com/myblog” title=”Antigua Web Solutions Blog”><img src=”http://antiguawebsolutions.com/myblog/button_0.gif” alt=”Antigua Web Solutions Blog” style=”border: 0;” /></a>

An easy solution. Bookmark the app for future use!

    Dropped a card ;) It’s a pity this isn’t a plugin. There are so many apps on servers out there I am starting to lose track of them or just forget about them if I don’t use it for a while.
