How about using those smileys in you blog or site comment area?



Yea its very easy to embed Yahoo or any Emotions or Smileys you want in the Comments Area of your blog. Yee, making use of this simple hack can increase the replies you get on your blog significantly, because this will give your readers a lively environment to reply.

This hack is imported from Wordpress, you must have seen that in Wordpress we can use smileys in the comment area also.
