This entry was published at least two years ago (originally posted on August 30, 2002). Since that time the information may have become outdated or my beliefs may have changed (in general, assume a more open and liberal current viewpoint). A fuller disclaimer is available.
I had this hack installed a while ago, and had managed to kill it — well, it’s back! Now, when I or anyone posting a comment types in a ‘smiley’ code (for instance, ‘:)’) it will be replaced by the corresponding ‘smiley’ (in this case, ‘:)’).
Below is a list of all the smileys available – just hold your mouse over each one to see the code that produces it.
Thanks to Yahoo! Messenger for the smileys, Sector 101 for the list of codes that mine are based on (though not identical to), and So Very Posh for the hack.
