Faces, Faces, Faces!

There are many faces, used by people all over Blogga and Jamaa.
Everything from

to

>:(

For bloggers, faces can spice up your posts and comments (that you leave on others' blogs) by adding emotion, and can help you better connect with your readers!
Not to mention using the right punctuation at the right time.

As in, knowing when to use exclamation marks, etc.


Example:

Blah: I absolutely love that picture of Mr. Q. It is awesome.
Better: I absolutely love that picture of Mr. Q! It's awesome!
Best:  I absolutely love that picture of Mr. Q! It's awesome! :D

Just for the fun of it, I made a chart of all of the faces and their general meanings, as well as some of my own invention/making (they could be made by others first, by I just hadn't noticed :P)


To show happiness:

@.<
*.*

>:(

To show "Whatever":

Just remember: Know when to use the right face at the right time!
Believe me, nothing is more irritating than when you're on Animal Jam, and someone is ending every sentence with "-.-" or ".-." and acting superior to you.
Example: Me (I'm an NM): "Can I ask you something?"
Other person (a member): "Fine -.-"
Me: "Do you like rares?"
Other person: "Of course -.-"

It gets kinda obnoxious after a while...




Happy facing!
