Sometimes Less is More …
Okay, so after f’ing around with some wordpress plugins to try to get easy simple code blocks to work (so that if they are too long I have a scroll bar etc.) finally I decide to toss the issue by my friend over at HandBrake who happens to really know his stuff when it comes to web design ( also happens to be an active HandBrake contributor no less ). Now me being kinda lazy I just gave him a quick shout looking for a plugin to do what I want. Which to me by the way seemed pretty simple. Well as most things go … how smart you are depends on who you are talking to and what your talking about. Long story short he gave me a quick ten line paste to stick in the theme .css file and voila … no plugins and the code blocks used for showing advanced option strings for HandBrake work like I always wanted! Plugins just got trashed! From now on if you comment on a post please enclose your option strings with [code] blocks (for you HandBrake forum users ... yes same here as there). Thanks BradleyS !
