A smile question or two About This Page:

[barries5199]

Two part question:

#1 -- I've seen a bunch of folks here using really cute smilies in their posts. Where'd ya get 'em? I like the basic ones available here, but I'd like to use some of the fancy schmancy ones too once in a while.

#2 -- Do you like your smile? We did family pictures a couple weeks ago (picking them up today), and I noticed my smile seemed forced. But then, I looked natural with my big cheesy grin in my pictures of me with Eeyore & Pooh at Crystal Palace 5 years ago. I just wish my smile was more consistently photogenic. <=like that!

I get my "extra" smilies from *************.com [img]http://smileys.*************.com/cat/36/36_1_13.gif[/img] and.....in pictures my smile seems kinda forced too !

#1 - I like them too, but don't know where they are from
#2 - Yeah, I like my smile, even when it's staged.

I like the other smilies too but just use the passporter ones.

DD seems to be the only one in the family who takes a good picture every time. The camera just loves her.

DS wouldn't smile if his life depended on it. But I just recently found out that most 16-17 yr old boys don't smile. Whats up with that?

DH always seems to have a half smile in his pictures.

My smile always looks forced or goofy. The best pictures of me are always the ones I don't know are being taken.

I just use the smilies on here . . . I haven't tried any of the smilie sites, but plan to look eventually!!!

I HATE my smile!!! My eyes sometimes squint up and sometimes, as my mom says (who has the SAME smile) "They disappear!!!"

DD has the best smiles of all, though . . . (see below!)

I tried loading smiley central a couple of weeks ago but couldn't get it to work

1. I use lots of other smilies! I'll go back and get the sites for you!

2. BLECH! Hate it! ( of course, I really can't help smiling anyway! )

[FanOfMickey]

I too just use the smileys on this site and I hate my smile yuck.

[DISNEYGOOF]

I have Smiley Central on a tool board at the top of the page but haven't figured out how to get the smilies on my posts and no I don't like my smile. Every now and then I'll have a picture taken that I like my smile.

[Colexis Mom]

I only use the smilies on Passporter!

And no, I don't like my smile either

[LizardCop]

I get smileys from everywhere. I'll found the post I did on how to use smiley central smileys, it's below......

I don't smile for pictures if I can avoid it....

Here's the instructions on how to use smiley central smileys...

Let's see...

I started out by going to *************.com,

http://www.*************.com/?lang=en

and downloaded and installed the program. It adds another line to your internet explorer toolbar...

Now, when I want to use a smiley, I click on the Smiley Central Button.

That brings up another window;

[img]http://lizardcop.com/*************Window.jpg[/img]

Now we scroll through here to find a smiley we want...

[img]http://lizardcop.com/*************Select.jpg[/img]

Click on the one you want and you get this;



In the top right corner is a link that says <u>click here</u> ... Click there.... and you get;

[img]http://lizardcop.com/*************Sorry.jpg[/img]

Look here;

[img]http://lizardcop.com/*************html.jpg[/img]

What I do here is click on the <font color="blue">Click here</font> and it tells you <font color="red">You now have the HTML code for the smiley you selected. You can paste it (Ctrl-V) into your favorite blog, personal website or anything else that supports the image HTML tag.</font>

Now, we start to set up the image for the smiley. We start with the image command [ image] (without the space between the ( and i.

Then paste in the code

[ image]&lt;a href='http://www.*************.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;img src='http://smileys.*************.com/cat/23/23_30_109.gif' border=0&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

Then I start cleaning up the code, all I need is the address...

[ image]&lt;a href='http://www.*************.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;img src='http://smileys.*************.com/cat/23/23_30_109.gif

and add the end command [ /image]

[ image]&lt;a href='http://www.*************.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;img src='http://smileys.*************.com/cat/23/23_30_109.gif[ /image]

Now, clean up the rest;

[ image]http://smileys.*************.com/cat/23/23_30_109.gif[ /image]

So that all you have is the http:// address.

Once the extra spaces are taken out, here's the smiley

Clear as mud yet???

That's all there is to it. It seems like a lot, but once you get used to is you get it done fast...

If you're looking for a specific one, use the box at the bottom to search...

then select the one you want and follow the directions above;

Ok, I only use the smilies here, but I'm going to try Bill's suggestion (he's so helpful! )

And, no I don't usually like my smile - I don't usually like to have my picture taken.

[barries5199]

Bill, thank you so much!! I printed your directions, and will give it a try.

I'm wondering if our smiles look forced to us, but not to others. I got our pictures last night, and still don't like them. It's not bad enough that the smile looks bad, but that darn camera adds at least ten pounds!!
