Blog Help Needed by John Anderton on 03-05-2005 at 11:32 AM

Ok atm i am using blogger even tho i have word press. I was wondering is there any blog software that allows u to add emotes ?? And does that site provide u nice hosting like Blogger or do u need to use personal hosts (Will do but the earlier is convienent ;)) And if it provides hosting then is it good (Good speed and possibly good url :rolleyes:)

Word Press does. and you have to use your own sapce.

If you want emotes, just use <img> tags in HTML mode.

You can actually combine Blogger and PHP (if you have PHP). Did you know that? :o

If you host your blog (via FTP), you can add PHP in your Template code.

One example, if you include smilies in your posts titles, you can "catch" the title using this code:

code:
$PostTitle = <<<PTL
<$BlogItemTitle$>
PTL;

It is important that you use that method, and not the usual $var = "value"; because it might give errors. Then you can simply replace.

Btw, I can't remember the Blogger Tags too well. But they have their guide in the help section (in case you haven't seen it).

You can customise the smiley code for WordPress along with adding your own. It used to be in the wp-config.php file, I'm not sure what it's in now. Try searching the WordPress forums.
