This is for all you WordPress blog users.  The preformatted text style of my blog theme was awful.  It was hard to read so I started cycling through the WordPress themes to find a better one.  The “Freshy” them had the best style, but I don’t like any other style point of it.  I didn’t know CSS, but was able to steal the preformatted text and add it it to this blog’s CSS template.

pre,code {
display:block;
font:1em 'Courier New', Courier, Fixed, monospace;
font-size:100%;
color:#000;
background:#fff url('/wp-content/themes/pub/freshy/images/preback.jpg') no-repeat left top;
overflow:auto;
text-align:left;
border:1px solid #99cc66;
line-height:17px;
margin:1em 0;
padding:0 20px 0 30px;
}

Well there it is.  This was my first taste of touching a CSS template.  Hey, I actually learned something!
