Title:
the ability to insert emoticons in entries

Area:
entries

Summary:
Sometimes it's easier to express things with emoticons and smiles than with words

Description:
sometimes it's easier to express things with emoticons and smiles than with words, so you could make it possible for us to have insert emoticons button in the rich text bar within the others possibilities we have to post an entry such as font colour, font size, images, media, links... I usually insert emoticons using the insert images button, but since there'a lots of it in all sizes sometimes it doesn't look beautiful to see in the blog, with a small font and a big emoticon.

I have no real objection to this feature being available for those who want it, but would it be possible to opt-in on the display side? So if people would rather see text emoticons everywhere, no matter what the author of the content has put in, they can do so. Rather like style=mine for journals.

And if this isn't possible, could we please keep the emoticon graphics small, as montuos suggests, and not animated. I sometimes hang out in discussion boards where animated emoticons are available and they are really irritating. Yes, there are browser-side solutions, but still⁰....

0: pun not intended :P
