I have been using Alex Gorbatchev's Syntax Highlighter to display code snippets on my blog for the past couple of years. It serves the purpose, but it is a pain to add the code while blogging (I need to use a HTML Encoder and manually add this piece wrapped around a <pre> tag). But, the positive thing is, I know for sure the search engine will crawl the code I have written.
Recently I stumbled upon GitHub Gists and it was really easy to just copy & paste my code in, select the language, and use the embed code on my website. However, will search engines that crawl my blog be able to see the code inside my gist and be able to lead visitors to my blog page?
