Download This List of Emoticons and Wordpress Smileys [Free PDF ]

I decided to add a little emotion to my website since emotion is a great copyrighting component. Sometimes it’s hard to get feeling across when you are only using words. Images are great because they break up long ramblings of words but you don’t have to rely solely on images to convey your thoughts.

Emoticons can convey your smile!

Enter Wordpress Emoticons.

Emoticons are also known as smileys. Basically these smileys convey emotion and brighten up your article as you are writing. The word “emoticon” is a portmanteau formed by combining the words emotion and icon. Emoticons convey a wide range of feelings. Emoticons can be used on your wordpress blog or in emails, social media sites such as twitter and facebook, and text messages.

Text emoticons/smileys are created by typing two or more punctuation marks.

For example, when you enter in this sequence of punctuation marks ; then - then ) you get this smile emoticon:

The most common smile emoticon is : then - then ).

You can also use a full text version which seems to be easier to remember, at least for me like this one : then smile then :
