Emoticons/Smileys for Forums & Blogs

AuthorDarren's Blog Admin CategoryHow To DateFebruary 7th, 2009

To add these EMOTICONS/SMILEYS to your forum post or to your blog just simply right click with the mouse on the emoticon you wish to use. When you press right button above the emoticon a box should appear, select “copy image location” by clicking on the left button on the mouse.

Then just go to where you want to insert the emoticon and click the IMG button at the top of the text box and when the IMG box appears just “paste” the image location which you copied into the box and press ok to confirm. ( Just like adding a picture ).
Here is a handy tip,
What I usually do is open another TAB with the emoticon’s open on that tab so I can easily switch between pages and the emoticons are much easier to find. To open a new tab just go up to the top left corner of your screen and left click file. Scroll down until you find NEW TAB and left click on it. The is also a simpler way by using key board commands to open a new tab, hold the CTRL button and press T. A new tab should open up straight away.

Here is a direct download link for Mozilla Firefox internet explorer if you have any trouble finding the image locations. Click here.

If you have any trouble inserting any of the emoticons just let me know and I will get straight back to you.

Enjoy…

Hi Darren, these are great but i’m not getting the copy image location from the context menu, i’m wondering if this is to force you to go to the website that you got them from?

I can get it with out any problems. It’s the 3rd one down from the top in the context menu. Try your cursor on another image an right click and see if the “Copy image location” appears. It could be your settings.

I only played that game for two days about 3 years and the game has been in the same spot on my shelf since and I’m always saying to myself that I have to start playing it again. It’s the only game that I didn’t clear yet. I liked the game it’s just that I was busy at the time when I bought the game and I eventually just forgot it was there from time to time. I must get out the PS2 again and clear that game to see what happens in the end.

Hey Cathriona,

Thanks for the comment. I created the animations with 3D software like Autodesk’s Maya 8.5 and autodesk’s 3D max etc. Then I used motion tracking software to puppeteer the rigged characters. The smileys I didn’t create but I searched around the internet on different sites for free licensed smileys and just changed the script slightly to make them compatible to use on Ballyfermot.ie for the Blogs and Forums. If you have any other questions just ask… :)
