I just don’t want to install plugins on my wordpress blog to do things that someone already do better than these plugins!
Example: code highlighters.
I’ve found a great service from Git, it’s name is Gist and you can use it as a quick repository for your code snippets. You could use it to store anything in a text format, not only code, maybe your grocery list…
Just write down some text, name it and it will be automatically highlighted according to the specified format. Take your notes for yourself (private gists) or share them with your friends with a little embed code.
All your gists will also be versioned, really a nice feature!
Now try it by yourself: http://gist.github.com/
