Smileys in Blogger

Though, I keep fiddling with the blogger template I, like the miser with a spoon, have rarely talked in detail as to what and how I do it. Recently, I saw some fellow bloggers nonnie and luna throwin a lot of tutorials, I thought lets do it for once.

So, when a friend of mine asked me how I included smileys in blogger .. I decided to put it here.

This is where I get my smileys from. A simple "click" for whenever I want.

Initially wanted to include all the yahoo smileys here, but then I thought they were a bit big for my liking. I used greasemonkey scripts to include them here. For the techies who want to know more go for the attachment below.

Greasemonkey is a firefox extension which allows you to change the way your webinterface functions by modifying through Javascripts. So, first of all you need firefoc with greasemonkey. Then I found the some Java scripts for blogger in Userscripts. I installed one script for blogger smileys through it. But, I didn't like them so i wanted to have my own smileys. For this, I opened an account with userscript.Then, Uploaded the script for smileys/emoticons to my account and modified the script.

To modify the script, I opened the script in an editor (in my case notepad) and then included a few lines for the smileys I wanted to add. like here :-

Its simple. One only needs to include the image url's for their smileys/emoticons. Then save it and upload in your host (in my case Userscript). Then install the script to your browser through greasemonkey.

Thus you are done.

There are other ways to do it like included a whole lot of codes into ur template for urself but I think using greasemonkey for JS is a simpler way.
