You can get them from various websites, just be careful, make sure the website doesn't download anything else on your computer, besides the "smilie" images. If you have a good anti-virus program, it should block items that do malicious things to your computer, like viruses.
When you download and save them on your computer (I'll send you a DM later today to show you how to save them on your computer) you can then upload them to a photo hosting web site, like Photobucket.com or sometimes Internet Service Providers give you some web space so you can build your own website, or store files and images. When you upload them to the site, they can now be viewed by everyone, but you have to post a link to the smilie images, enclosed in "" (without the double quotes). Example: .
I'll include some examples in my DM.
Thank you Mike! This sounds super confusing to me
Some of the smilies on this thread are cute and some are, just, YUCK!
Precisely! Unfortunately, the right one for the occasion is never handy enough.
I agree! This website hardly has any emoticons to choose from! Some other websites I visit have tons to choose from...and somewhere in there is always the perfect one to convey your mood at the time of posting. I really wish CD had more to choose from! I truly think that perhaps it could clarify things a tad more since with the written word we can't see body language / facial expressions etc.
Although I will say...that today I made a post and used this () after the post and another poster asked me what I was smiling for! lolololololol!!!!! I said, cause I'm friendly!
So...I don't know...maybe emoticons aren't for everybody, but I like them!
