There are 2 ways to put a <./>Smiley</.> in a conversation.

First you can use the short cuts, like this

If you put ; ) (With no spaces) you will get
and : -D (with no spaces) you get

then there are the ones you put in
so < love> (with no spaces) will give you
and < biggrin> will give you

If you click on any <./>Smiley</.> that you see, Like THIS ONE >>
it will take you to the smiley page were you will find all the codes

I forgot to add.
If you want to put them on your home page in GuideML

Then you put them like THIS <SMILEY TYPE="kiss"/>

some people use realy impressive ones and have pictures that move and flash and so on - am i really living in another century>??
Why cant i get it working too?
the basic ones ive got

There are animated PICTURE BLOBs and even a flashing "disco" SMILEY. There is a MARQUEE tag to make things move. At the moment your personal space page is in plain text. You would need to switch to GuideML mode before you could use any images other than the smileys.

ok, thanks. Will change it and then.............?

What then is pretty much up to you. You might want to add a picture to go with your words or simply centre them in coloured box. Some people add lots of smileys and have them moving around all over the place. Others prefer a plain page. Most people add a few links to their favourite locations. You can even have a personal space which looks different on each dna sub-site, eg getwriting as opposed to h2g2.
