WordPress has built-in functionality to automatically create smiley face images (emoticons, if you will) for both entries and for comments. It just occurred to me that I probably only know the text equivalents for three or four of them. Here’s the entire list. I got this list by looking at the code of /wp-includes/vars.php.

Thanks!!! This is what I’ve looking for. Now my blog is more colorful!! Thanks for sharing!
Thanx for this – I’ve been looking all over for it, but once you know where to look…
Here’s a hint for you folks out there: you might have noticed that the “oops”-Smilie does not display correctly because its first two characters (the colon and the letter o) form the “surprised” smilie and are interpreted as such. It is therefore advisable to edit vars.php and replace the word “oops” with “redface” or some other obvious abbreviation.
thnx for bugging. i’m using my blog now.
Very cool, thx.
