Yes, we got smilies! Lots and lots of smilies! 
😆 🙂
Actually, we always had the smilies. You just had to know the correct code to enter in order to get the smilies to appear. No need to do that anymore! Thanks to the WP Grins Plugins from Alex King, the smilies are now available for anyone to use.
➡ This Plugin allows you to put clickable smilies on your post and comments forms. Can’t remember the right syntax for one of the smilies? Just click on it and it will be inserted right into your post/comment. How cool is that? ❓ ❗ 💡
The Plugin is really easy to install. Just upload the single file to your WordPress Plugins folder and then activate it in your WordPress Plugins control panel. That’s it! If you are using a version of WordPress prior to 2.1, you will need to upload the included prototype.js to your wp-includes/js/ directory.
This is my favorite smiley: 😈
