My Dilemma - Adding Emoticons and Smileys on Blog Posts and Comments Section

I've been googling for hours and seems can't find a good way to add emoticons and smileys on my new posts. 

Yes, I can hear you saying that there are tons of tutorials available on the internet but, sorry, these tricks and tweaks did not worked for me.  I've tried installing and running some scripts using Greasemonkey (a Firefox add-on that allows to run scripts) but it didn't worked, too.  I also tried downgrading my FF from 3.6 to 3.5 to no avail because I read in one tutorial that it is guaranteed to work in version 3.5.  Nothing worked.

I gave up.   

Really?  You think so? 

You bet I won't give up!  Now that you've seen these cute yahoo messenger emoticons in this post means that I've tried another method.  That is -- the drag and drop method.    It means that I simply insert these emoticons as images. 

It seems that those tutorials are not working anymore.  Most of these are already 2 years old.  Maybe their tricks and scripts are not working or compatible with the new Firefox. 

I'll just wait 'til someone teaches or give me a link that will work (for me).  

 

 ==============================
UPDATE:

I finally solved my case.

I logged to my other blogger account (under a different email) and was surprised that the scripts and Greasemonkey is actually working! So, what's the matter?

It seems that the Google adsense is blocking or preventing the scripts to run. Okay, fine, whatever!  No more emoticons under the Comments Section, and I just have to be contented on inserting the emoticons.

One More Chance: The Animated Version

I find this video cute! Not because I have already watched the movie but because I like the animation. Bravo and kudos to the talents! *applause*

Now, this made me look for online streaming of this movie. Need to watch Basha and Popoy.

Free Skittles Candy Sample: For Real or Just Another Hoax?

I received this link and referral from friends promising a "free bag of Skittles." Take note, it's not a just a pack of Skittles but a BAG of Skittles.  Hmmmm, sounds too good to be true. I asked a colleague if she tried to clicked the link and what happened during the process of "registration."  She said that one needs to refer 20 friends in order to receive that BAG of Skittles.

Skeptic as I am, still I tried to register and here's what I've found out.  Here's the homepage.  I checked the web address and it is not addressed to Skittles but to hxxp://www.tryfreecandysample.com/referal.php.  Btw, Skittles homepage is here.

1.  You need to enter an email address and country.  See that ads at the right sidebar?  It says that this promotion is available worldwide. Wow, that made me think again if Skittles would really give out a free BAG to billions (or millions) of registrants-to-be?

2.  After I've entered an email address (which I just made up and not even a registered one!) and a country, the website brought me to this page.  It gave me a referral link and a PIN code with an instruction to share the link to another 20  friends, and I can share it also through my Facebook account. 

I stopped on this page.  I did not publish this to my Facebook, of course.

Now, here's the real funny and amusing part. I tried to register again, this time using my email address for junk stuff and another made-up email address.  Guess what?  I received the same referral link and PIN code!  (Maybe, because of IP address?  Still, I checked my email address for junk stuff but I did not receive a confirmation link!)


Look, let's  read again what's with the special instruction. It says that I should be receiving the freebies in the mail -- email?  LOL!   Not postal mail, for sure, 'cause I am not asked to put any address during the registration process.

Again, I browse their page and checked their privacy statement.  Here's what they are going to do with the information.

This sounds like the same links that I received offering free Sony laptop, Ipod, Iphone, etc. 

'nuff said.

(On the other hand,  my view can still be changed if someone will send me my BAG of Skittles.  Would Skittles do that for me?  *grin*)

Hey, if anyone out there had already referred 20 friends, please update me.

Comments and violent reactions are welcome.  LOL!
