Make it as easy as possible for people to get to your code; file sharing
site isn't very good for this (especially those that have wait time and
download limits and if you have to zip your file). If you're setting up
a webpage you need to take care not to mess up special characters. Using
pastebin is fairly well-received as people won't have to save the file
to their harddrive to see the content and their page is specifically set
up for displaying code (syntax highlighting and stuffs).

If your code is specifically reusable or if it illustrates a certain
concept, posting it as Activestate recipe is great as well.
