WILL work. Someone asked me how I was doing this, so i thought I'd post the tip: it's just like you would do a smiley/frowny in an e-mail or txt: use the colon and the parenthesis key (no space in between) The one on the 9 makes a sad and the one on the 0 makes a smiley. Can't figure out how to get the "mad"... if anyone does please share!

OMG, IT WORKED! Okay... I'm a dork and used to use the long-hand way of putting in the emoticons instead of clicking on the faces.

type in (without spaces) --

: angry : for

: sad : for

: frown : for

: crying : for

: sheepish : for

: sillygrin: for

That's what I remember so far... Hmm...
