    well, i can’t figure it out. the instructions are very sparse.

    “select the code language?” where do you do that? i don’t see any new controls in my wordpress interface, even though it says your plugin is activated.

    okay, i got a little farther. i see that your plugin adds a box at the bottom to type code into.

    but apparently you can only have one code snippet per post? and it has to be at the very bottom? i don’t know about anybody else, but that’s completely unacceptable to me. i’ll have to find something else.

    I’m back. Just applied it for the first time putting both of my codes in the one snippet.
    When it comes to as “something else” (like a wp-plugin), this is it, I’ve looked.

    Thanks Allan, and very nice. I look forward to writing a review and/or any future developments.

    I have the same problem of “MsMoneyGirl.net”, the code is duplicate. This I think have happened when I tried to add a new code_editor field. I tried everything and even delete and recreate the post and got same problem. Any Idea on how I could change that ?
    I really like the look of it and would like to keep it.

    Nicely written plugin.
    It’s a shame it isn’t a bit more versatile though.

    It would be great if you could add multiple sets of code and control where the code was displayed in the post. I won’t be able to use this plugin unless these two things are added. I still think the work you did provide is great code though :P

    Any thoughts about further development?

    @Jon – Those features will be added in the next release.

    Great Plugin! Thank you. One problem (yeah, I know), after 3 successful postings now in new postings the code snippet appears twice. Can find a way around it. Other than that, kudos!

    I have heard your requests regarding more than one snippet area within the post content.

    I just downloaded your plugin. I made a post about it at my blog. http://essencious.org/?p=125

    I’m been looking for a code snippet like your for a long time.

    I’m looking forward to your next release with the ability to place the code anywhere on the page.

    Great work Allan ~
