[Orgmode] [Babel] Macro for begin_src?

[Nathan Neff]

I've been converting my init.el file to org-babel, and am getting tired of
copying/pasting or typing the begin_src and end_src blocks.

Example:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :results silent
#+end_src

As an Emacs n00b, I'd like to know if anyone here has defined some kind of
macro / shortcut to define an org-babel block.

I'd like a shortcut/macro that I could put into my config files, and put into my git repo.

Thanks for any input,
