I'm sure this works, but I'm not comfortable re-writing PHP code which is why I asked if there was a plugin for geeklog.

Yes jQuery plugin is a plugin for geeklog and to highlight VB code you will need to edit 1 line in private/plugins/jquery/functions.inc file ( near line 148 ) :

change from
Text Formatted Code
                $str .= '           brushes: [\'Xml\', \'JScript\', \'CSharp\', \'Plain\', \'Php\'],' . LB;


to
Text Formatted Code
                $str .= '           brushes: [\'Xml\', \'JScript\', \'CSharp\', \'Plain\', \'Php\', \'Vb\'],' . LB;

I made the change as you suggested above and when I put the code in between the (code | /code) tags I get the following result

Is there a special function that I need to put with the "Code" tags?

You just need to set the class for the code tag.

Text Formatted Code

<pre><code  class="vb">
' Your VB code here
</pre><code>

confused
Geeklog strips the "Class" from the tag, so I tried to add it into the config filter, but that did'nt work either...

Is there any detailed documentation on this or do you just through it out there?

Don't worry about it, I just deleted the plugin. I'll use screenshots instead.

In the config you can set Skip HTML Filter for Root to true to allow all html tag in your posts and pages.
Text Formatted Code

Config >> Miscellaneous >> HTML filtering
