Because I'm a font freak...

[jenepherre]

And because estella7 asked me how I did the smilie in my previous post...

<*font face="wingdings" size="+3"*>J<*/font*>

Just remove the asterisks, and you get this:
J

At least it works on computers running Windows, since Wingdings is a standard Windows font.

You can play around with the size:

J +4

J +3

J +2

J +1

J same size as regular page text

You can also do these:
K - replace the J with a K

L - replace the J with a L

A - A

B - B

C - C

D - D

I - I

{ - {

Anyhow... you get the idea. I wish there was a smilie sticking his tongue out... I'd use that all the time. I know there are other dingbat fonts that do have smilies like that, but it doesn't do you much good to use them if the person viewing your post doesn't also have that font. They'll just see the letter, number or other standard character.

And I think that's enough time wasted on something so trivial... LOL See? I need a smilie sticking its tongue out right here:
;-P
And sometimes the sideways thing just doesn't cut it, you know? J

I'm glad someone appreciates my nerdiness (or is it nerdyness?). hahahaha

Or, hold down your Alt key and key in 0222 on the key pad and you will get this Þ

i guess I'll do anything right now just to not think about my family in florida. at present they have no electricity. :(

Ach - sorry to hear about your family! They didn't evacuate? I'll be sending lots of positive vibes their - and your - way, k? ::hugs::

I'd forgotten about the Alt 0222 (or 0254) thing, but... it's still sideways! LOL ;^þ

They just show as letters for me, and I have Windings installed. Weirdness.

[jenepherre.livejournal.com]

Huh. That is weird. But you're far more computer savvy than I am... you'd know better than I would why it's not working, I would think. :-/ Don't suppose it's all that important though...

Can one make one of the eyes wink?

[jenepherre.livejournal.com]

Not without turning it into a graphic. The whole idea with using a character from a font is that there's no graphic to upload anywhere - it's coded into the message.

I'd like a winking one too. And then one that winks and sticks its tongue out. LOL
