Printer-Friendly Version

How much extra work is it for ya to make "printer-friendly" versions of blogs and snippets?

The blogs would be easy. The code snippets I would need to think about because a printer friendly version would need to manually add hard line breaks into the code, wouldn't it?

Was also toying with the idea of adding tags and tag clouds to the code snippet library tonight. Is it necessary since code already has descriptions?

How is it done for "regular" posts containing code? [Rhetorical question, I have no idea.]Was also toying with the idea of adding tags and tag clouds to the code snippet library tonight. Is it necessary since code already has descriptions?I always thought it would be nice to have snippets much like tutorials or regular posts. When in doubt, I just use what I can get away with.

Inline explanations along with a finished code might be nice, but I'm sure they'd allow "slacker" approaches that could be problemsome.

Sorry, but what do you mean by a "Printer Friendly" version? I thought all modern day printers could print anything? Surely, if you meant just black and white, could'nt you just remove the colour cartridge from your printer? That's what I do in my HP Printers.

No adds, no fluff, etc.
