Added Smiley support
I have added smiley support to this blog. It is enabled for both posts and comments. In order to get the smilies you just use the standard chat shortcuts.
Use the following for the smilies without the space in between:
| : ) | or | : smile : | = |  Smile |
| : ( | or | : sad : | = |  Sad |
| : | | or | : neutral : | = |  Neutral |
| ; ) | or | : wink : | = |  Wink |
| : p | or | : tease : | = |  Tease |
| : D | or | : grin : | = |  Grin |
| : x | or | : mad : | = |  Mad |
| 8 ) | or | : cool : | = |  Cool |
| : oops : | = |  Oops! |
Credit: I have used the smilies from Long Zheng's istartedsomething.com and extended it to create my own mad, cool and oops icons. He uses WordPress as his blogging engine, but his icons are a lot more polished than those of WordPress. Of course WordPress supports a lot more emoticons than I do, but I will create better versions of those over time.
