Code Snippets in MSDN Blogs

So far in this blog I've experimented with several different ways of writing code snippets. My favorite way was to use XtractPro's syntax highlighter. Unfortunately, the latest version of Telligent seems to resist my efforts by removing all the newlines from my <pre> blocks. That's why I started using Github Gists. But the problem with that is people using Google Reader cannot see the code snippets.

I'm curious what other people use to write code snippets. I'd be glad to hear any suggestions.
