Word PressSmileys, also known as “emoticons,” are glyphs used to convey emotions in your writing. They are a great way to brighten up posts.

: - ) is equivalent to
: - ( is equivalent to 
: - ? is equivalent to

Fond memories of Digger. Man. RIP brother. May you awaken to see the restoration of this once great Republic. Meet you in person on the other side when the smoke clears! 🙂
Digger was the topic of a conversation I had today with someone who knew him. It’s nice to know others who recall Digger.
