I have been considering embedding all code samples in my blog using [Github Gists](https://gist.github.com/).I notice very few of bloggers I follow use gist to embed code in their blogs. For example very few bloggers on [Planet PostgreSQL](http://planet.postgresql.org/ "Planet PostgreSQL") use gist.

I would like to use gist because I would like a central place to store all my code samples and I can use git to version control the gists. I am tired of installing CMS plugins to highlight code samples.

Why are so few bloggers using gist to embed code? Do you have any reasons why I should not use gist for my code snippets on my blog?
