 * For the life of me I can not get a couple of lines of html to display as code
   in a P2 post. I’ve tried
    `<br />` `<pre> </pre>` and a couple of plug-ins (Google
   syntax Highlighter did work but was overkill). Any suggestions? Thanks.

 * I found this – [http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/posting-source-code/](http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/posting-source-code/)
   
   Apparently there’s a new shortcode of some type. No idea if it works on regular
   WP, needs a plugin, or whatever…

 * I got something onto the page using Google Syntax Highlighter for WordPress, 
   but it sure doesn’t look like poetry. Only wanting to show users the method for
   adding a YouTube video or mp3 audio to their post.
    Shouldn’t be this hard.
