Using Emojis on Blogger Posts

After we were all forced onto the new Blogspot format (system, operation, structure... whatever) I noticed that people were putting emojis onto their posts.

That looked like so much fun but I didn't know how. Aha! Then I located it. Yay! 😁

I used it a while ago for that Halloween math problem because Art said I needed to be clearer with the ghosts, pumpkins and bats. I can't believe they had all the emojis I needed.

OK, I promise not to get too carried away by this since it can be distracting 😆, but isn't it a nice feature to have?

  1. Yes, but I will use this sparingly. I do use them more in texting.

  2. I wondered where the link was, too. Thanks for enlightening me. :-)

  3. It can be really useful to use them. Many of us are visual learners and like visual cues.

  4. I don't really like this google format. I was perfectly happy with the way it has been handled all these years. I was afraid I was going to lose all the posts I have made since 2008. Luckily that didn't happen.

  6. My gripe is that I'm adding pictures and text to my post, sometimes things get wonky. I used to switch from "compose" mode to "edit html" mode and it was a fairly easy process to figure out what was messing things up and correcting it. Now with new blogger, they toss everything in the "edit html" mode into one giant lump of stuff that makes my eyes ache trying to sort through and get things corrected. It is easier to just start the post over and try and be more careful when adding things.

  7. I did not know there was a way and will use it some. I wish we could use it in the comment sections.

  8. Ah so that is where it is? Thanks for the information. I'd never have found it on my own.

  10. I just wish the font size thingy would be easier to change when a pre-set does not kick in.

  11. I've been on Blogger all these years (since 2006) and never used Blogger's Editor! I use an old offline tool called Windows Live Writer. It's always had emojis, but being a manly man, well... ;^)

    1. I wish they would figure out a way for us to add emojis to comments. Then I would put in a laughing face.

    1. I'm sorry, you can't use it for comments though.

  13. A problem I have is that some people using Blogger can answer questions asked by readers in their comments, and the answer can be right in the comment section. I've never found out how to get that feature. This was even before the big changeovers.

    1. It's because I use the Embedded format for comments. You have to look in your Settings under Comment Location. Each type of comment format has a different ability. At least that's what I think anyway.

  14. Emojis are cool. Now all I need to do is figure out how to put them in comments as well.

  15. I get really jealous when a friend can send a text with an emoji that I didn't know existed. Linda in Kansas

  16. I'm not sure if typepad has emojis. If I edit my post with my phone, I can add them. I like that they add a feeling to the words. Now I need to investigate this further. :)

  19. I only use some emojis. I don't know the meaning of some of them.

I really LOVE hearing from you! However, if you sign in as ANONYMOUS, please don't forget to tell me who you are in the comment box by just writing your first name. We would all appreciate it if you kept your comment respectful and kind.

I’m using Comment Moderation for any post that is more than a day old because of aggravating SPAM. Therefore, if your comment does not go up on an older (more than a day old) post, it's because I need to OK it first. I'm sorry to have to do this, but again... sigh... it's the spam that's driving me crazy.
