Putting Smileys On Blogger

You will probably notice when you read our blog posts that we like to use "smileys" quite often. :) Not only do they make the posts look more interesting, but they also help to add some "emotion", that's why they are also called, "Emoticons".
You can easily put emoticons on your blog by just adding a simple code to your blog's html. The javascript will then automatically change certain pre-defined symbols or characters into emoticons.

Here's what you need to do to get "smileys" working on your blog:
Step 1: Sign into Blogger and then go to Layout > Edit HTML
Step 2: Back-up your template.
Step 3: In the head section of your template, right in front of the </head> tag, insert this code:

<script src="http://mltan100.googlepages.com/emoticons.js" type="text/javascript"/>

Step 4: Once you've inserted the code, click "Save Template" and you're done! =D>
Remember that the page usually has to download completely before the smileys will appear on your screen.
Most of the Yahoo emoticons will work with this javascript. Do an internet search for "Yahoo Emoticons" and you will be able to see which characters or symbols make up the different smileys.
