Basic Questions:

what the hell is this?
The MoodSmilies website is designed to display your current mood at your website. It is not necessary to have a website to display your mood, but if you do you can get the code from the top left menu and add it any where at your site to display your mood to your visitors and allow them to comment as well!

is there a fee?
No. MoodSmilies will always remain free. I do this crazy crap for the love of smilies! Since I have put a lot of time effort and my own money into the MoodSmilies site, and you feel it in your heart that you really love MoodSmilies and would like to help, I love people who donate moolah or get me something from my wishlist!

can i add my MoodSmilies to my site?
Absolutely! Once you have created an account and logged in, go to the "Get Your Code" link located under settings in the left hand menu. There are several option codes for adding your MoodSmilies to your site which includes the most common way which is by using an iframe tag. If your site is created in php (which most blog scripts are) there is also a php include code available.

what is the "Mood Page"?
The "View Mood Page" is your page at the MoodSmilies website. This page displays all of your mood changes from the date you have signed up and any comments that your moods have acquired. This page is totally different from the "Mood Box" page. It also displays a link to your personal information as well.
top | back | close

what is the "Mood Box" Settings?
The "Mood Box" settings is where you can change the appearance and settings for the "box" that will display your mood at your website. You can do many things to help blend your "mood box" into your website such as change the background color, scroll bar color, and choose to display the time stamp, past moods link and how many moods in the past moods popup. Remember the "Mood Box" settings are not for changing your settings on your "View Mood Page", but for changing how your MoodSmilies are displayed at your site.

how do i change my MoodSmilies?
After you have created an account and logged in, go to the link at the top left under "personal" that says "Change Mood". You can choose different smilies categories from the drop down menu. Once you have selected the smilie you desire by clicking on a smilie and added any additional information you wish such as extended feelers, what your are watching and listening to, click "Update MoodSmilies" button, and whala... you have changed your mood. This will update your mood at the MoodSmilies website and put you at the top of the list as one of the latest users and will also update your MoodSmilies that you have added to your website!

my stuff dissapeared!
First off, if you have uploaded a smilie to a category that it does not belong to, it will be deleted. It has happened that there has either been extremely repulsive or obscene language or content and it will be altered or deleted. I try to keep MoodSmilies where you may express your self any way you wish, but some expressions are just to much and have to be removed.. sorry :) I will drop a quick mood to gather response from other MoodSmilies user to make sure I am not being to over protective. As it so happens the users at MoodSmilies have been the greates bunch!
