Tips from Madam Dilla~

"I used to talk to myself as in practicing alone before I went for an interview. Some people do it in front of a mirror. I just simply talking aloud to myself pretending I'm answering all sorts of questions asked by the interviewer. Do it at home not in public. People might think you are nuts. hehehe.."

Fancy To Smile?

Some people asked me, where did I get all the cute smileys in the shoutbox?

Now (as I promised to Miss Ricca), I will try my very best to teach you guys how to do it. It is very easy!

STEP 1:

For those who don't have the shoutbox yet, you need to download it first. There are two commonly used shoutboxs, Cbox and Shoutmix (click the name to go to the respective website). FYI, I'm using both since I have two blogs and in my opinion, I think that Cbox is better than Shoutmix because it allows you to add the customizable smileys as many as you want while Shoutmix allows ten smileys only . Okeh, after you get the codes, you can proceed to STEP 2.

STEP 2:

If you are using Shoumix, log in and go to "Display". Choose "Smileys" as in the figure.



For Cbox user, go to "Options" and select "Smileys".


STEP 3:

Go to www.anikaos.com. This website provides hundreds of smileys that you need.


Choose any gif smileys that you want. Right click on the image and choose "Copy Image Location" for Mozilla Firefox or "Copy Shortcut" if you are using Internet Explorer.





STEP 4:

Paste the link on the space provided as in the images below:



Don't forget to fill in the "Code" column. Just write any word that describe the smileys. E.g. "Happy".

STEP 5:

Repeat STEP 3 and 4 for as many as you want (if you are using Cbox). For Shoutmix user, you can only add 10 customizable smileys.

Save the settings and walla, you already have cute smileys in your shoutbox.

Don't forget give it a try!!

Ta!
