Yesterday, when I was about to add the awesome-smiley to the preinstalled wordpress-smileys I’ve got here (and accidentally made the site go down for awhile), I noticed that there are a lot of graphical icons in that folder that I’ve never even seen.

So I thought we’d go through them all, so you know what smileys you can use, both here, and on every other Wordpress comic/blog out there (not that you’d want to use them, but still…). I’ll also give examples to how they can be used.

Here we go:

:) =
Example: “Wow, this comic really sucks… ”

:D =
Example: “I mean, REALLY ”

:lol: =
Example: “Haha! This reminds me of something that’s actually FUNNY! ”

;) =
Example: “And it wasn’t Glitchtown, that’s for sure. ”

:P =
Example: “So hah! ”

:( =
Example: “Wait… that’s not funny. ”

:cry: =
Example: “I work at Adobe, I’m nothing like this! ”

:oops: =
Example: “You should draw all your characters, naked… sometime… ”

:roll: =
Example: “oh, you… ”

8) =
Example: “You’ll never be as cool as me ”

8O =
Example: “Late update? Again? ”

:? =
Example: “I don’t get this strip… ”

:o =
Example: “Dude. I was just kidding about drawing them naked. ”

:x =
Example: “Cats. Are NOT. Silly! ”

:| =
Example: “Meh ”

:!: =
Example: “HHHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGHHHH ”

:?: =
Example: “Wait, what ”

:arrow: =
Example: “Hey, everybody! Head over to Penny Arcade instead. It’s actually funny!”

:twisted: =
Example: “im in ur site spammin yor commentfeild lolol ”

:evil: =
Example: “WHAT IS THIS SHIT ”

:idea: =
Example: “I just got an idea, and I’ll use this shit right here to prove it -> ”

:mrgreen: =
Example: “Why would anyone ever use this smiley? ”

Now, I’m aware that many of these suck. I didn’t make them. But I could change them thought, maybe. Sometime.

Also, let’s go through what HTML that’s acceptable in the comments. It annoys me when you don’t know what you can and can’t write, and you end up with a weirdly formatted comment (which you can’t edit. I can though.)

Here’s some of what wordpress accepts:

<b> / <strong>
<i> / <em>
<s> / <del>
<a href=”example”>
<blockquote>
<ins datetime=”2009-03-24T12:04:20+00:00″>
<img src=”example” alt=”example” />
<ul>
<ol>
<li>
<code>

I won’t explain them all. If you don’t know what it is, you probably won’t need it.

This is a new experience for me, and all of us. Glitchtown fanart! Woho!

I mean. Just wow, I honestly never though I’d get some genuine fanart. This is so awesome. Just look at it.
It’s made by the very talented Drobvirks, now go show her some love over at DeviantArt. I command you!

Seriously, thanks so much for this, Julia. ^^

Craig McCracken is one of my biggest inspirations. As a few of my readers already know, I also really like The Powerpuff Girls, and I’m not ashamed of that.

Ok, maybe a little bit. Ehm.

ANYWAY. I really like the style, so I drew Leslie, Isaac and Houston like so:

:3 Isn’t that cute? (It might not look like it, but it took quite some time to do that. It’s been awhile since I used Illustrator.)

I was going to add the Glitchtown logo, but realized I’m missing the font I’m using for it, AvantGarde (if you have it and could email it to me, I’d be very happy, very happy indeed). Thanks Danny, you’re a life saver!

If anybody wants to, I’ll make this into a wallpaper.
