Emoticons for Gmail

There are those amongst us who enjoy Emoticons. I am not one of them ,but I am not prepared to knock those who do. This tip is for those who use g-mail and it’s name is :- Gmail Emoticons Once you install this script on your computer, it adds a little emoticon icon next to the "Check Spelling" link in the Gmail Compose window. Once you click on that icon, you can choose from a wide array of emoticons, including these: _

If you are probably wondering how you actually get those smileys into your e-mails, Well, there are two different methods you can choose from. The first (and probably the easiest) is a drag and drop type of thing. To do this, start a new e-mail, type in what you want and then just drag the emoticon you want to use and drop it into the e-mail.

You do have to be a little careful with this method, because if you accidentally drop the emoticon outside of the e-mail box, your page may change and you'll probably have to start all over again. But, that shouldn't concern you too much, because you have a huge space to work with when you're dropping them in. Just be a little cautious with this one! As for the second method, it's all done by a copy and paste. First, click on the Emoticons icon (remember, it's next to the Check Spelling link) and choose the smiley you want to use in your new e-mail. Once you've decided, drag your mouse over the smiley so that it is highlighted. Next, right click on it and choose Copy. Then go over to your new e-mail window, right click where you want the smiley to go and choose Paste. It will then show up in your e-mail right where you want it. Neat? Both methods are pretty simple to do, but I wanted to make sure you all knew you had options! So, if you're ready to start using emoticons in your Gmail e-mails, go ahead and download the Gmail Emoticons script right here.:- []

(To get to it, scroll all the way to the bottom of the page and click on the black box that says "Install this script"). Once it's installed, you can start using as many smileys as you want
