Emmbeded CSS (3/15/2007)
Nice job, really cool extension. The problem is that it requires either external cascading style support or it embeds the style sheet information inside a style tag. It would be better if the cascading style information could be applied thru style attributes in span tags, making the produced html code easier to enter in any page.

It's okay
I can't use it in windows live spaces (11/3/2008)
the plugin is very nice, but maybe I lost some things, so I can use in windows live spaces. I use windows live writer to edit my content, and use the plugin embed my code. when I post my content on live spaces, the code lost the CSS to display it.

Nice (12/19/2007)
Nice plugin. However, I have a couple problems/requests. The graybars do not seem to be compatible with Blogger. Everything looks good in LW, but after I publish the graybars are gone. Also, I would like to see more coloring of .NET code so that it looks like it came from Visual Studio. Also, it would be nice to have an option to format XML. Thanks for your work!

Love it
Excellent features and formatting (1/30/2008)
I've used this for TSQL, HTML and VB files and formatting/coloring are excellent. I also really appreciate the line number and alternate line coloring to make clear those lines which wrap. Great add-in.

Love it
Very cool. Thanks!! (12/6/2007)
I can think of a couple ways to make the formatting better, but those are minor quibbles (since I'm waaay too lazy to do it for myself. It's the one must have plug-in for MSDN bloggers!

Good work (11/16/2007)
Its a good plugin. The only feature I would like would be the ability to remove one or more levels of indentation easily

What about...more supported languages? (3/7/2008)
Why not supporting php and java for example?

Hate it
Useless with blogger (8/16/2009)
Does not seem to format the code properly in Blogger (assuming there is nothing to configure in the blogger template considering the instructions).
