I'm going to take some time today to go over the some of the book, and what I feel it has to offer the average reader.

I haven't seen a plugin made to do this yet (as it is really simple) so I figured this would be perfect for a quick jQuery plugin tutorial. You can download the plugin and/or view the demo below.

If you haven't used Snipplr yet, or are unsure what Snipplr is, it is basically a code pasting/sharing site on the surface.
