Well, just because even a blogger like me needs an injection of levity as part of his day (to keep sane), I’ve taken extra steps and implemented some fun changes to the comments box. Now you can add quicktag edits with the click of a few buttons instead of having to manually type in code. I’ve wanted that functionality here on the Anvil for a long time and I finally hacked together some code to make it happen.
But beyond that, the levity part comes in, and that’s in the form of smilies: :D :| :P Yeah, those. Standard smilies will automatically be translated into an image, so if you’re familiar with typing those, no sweat. But the custom changes go far beyond that. Near the quicktag buttons above the comments box is now a Smilie button, and by clicking that you will have a whole mess of smilies unfold to choose from in a popup window.
So, want to add a little bling to a comment? Want to rant a little more? Or perhaps you want to send a previous commenter or me an extra zing or kudos or message. Well, now you can.
And I also get to have a little more fun, and a happy blogger is a better blogger. Who says anti-jihad has to be all serious?

A neat improvement FH!
Cool innovation. Now those who are somewhat computer challenged like me can jazz up the comments (although given the topic dealt with here it might be more apt to call the smilies “frownies”)
Nice. Best assortment of smilies yet!
BTW . . .I came across this link and thought I’d share,
mapsofwar.com
Most popular animated maps include:
> Imperial History of the Middle East
> History of Religion
> American Leadership and War
Love the smilies!

that was indeed a very interesting link. Thanks for posting it
@heroyalwhyness: Thanks for that link. I’ve added Maps of War to my Relevant Links section. It will also come in handy when I finally get back to working on my Jihad Mapping project.
However, I’m a bit concerned that that site has a distasteful slant when I see a map of Baghdad called ‘Signs - of - Occupation’. I will dig around and have a look soon.
Very funny, Foe.
