SyntaxHighlighter.all();
</script>

Just put this above the closing head tag.

Then put your code in a pre tag and apply the appropriate brush, like so:

<pre class=="brush: xml">

Remember to encode you code using something like Postable or String Functions

UPDATE 9/27/12:
I was having a problem with Chrome rendering significant whitespace under the code blocks (probably due to recent changes to Blogger). I was able to get rid of it by putting in a reset css from here:

This issue is reported as a bug in Chrome here:
