WordPress just upgraded their emoticons!
I’ve yet to find a good :blush: sort of emoticon; that one would come in handy for me; I seem to live with a perpetual cringe. 
Still, these are nice to have (if I can remember them):
(colon + lol + colon)
(colon + roll + colon — which is funny, because I’m looking for a :rolleyes: sort of emoticon, not a tongue-sticking-out one)
(colon + eek + colon)
(colon + question mark)
:/ (colon + slash — either forward slash or backward slash)
(colon + the line above the backslash)
I haven’t been able to find an official emoticon legend. Has anyone else? Or have you found others?
I hate to break this to you but these have been around for a long time.
This is the page I use: http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Smilies
I will say the one with the tongue is weird though because with the word roll it IS supposed to roll the eyes. They don’t have one on the list above that sticks its tongue out.
P.S. I will say that I like the way they look on your blog better than mine. I don’t know how or why but they’re different.
Yes, THAT’S the part that’s new. I should say that there’s a new look to the emoticons… just happened yesterday. They’re more detailed. So, I was trying out all sorts of emoticon possibilities… Thanks for the link!
Here’s the blush one!!
He’s not very blush-y.
(Just kidding! I’m not really crying; I just think the new ‘cry’ emoticon is cute!)
oh, okay! I didn’t realize that’s what you meant.
Mine still look different though. 
And I like yours better. 
what about the “oops” one for blush?
Yup, that works! It’s just that it’s not very blushy.
