Ok, so I’m migrating over to wordpress. Ā I have no idea how this place works, if I’m going to be able to figure it out, or if I even have the patience to figure it out.
But here I go, divin’ off the cliff.
Good grief, there’s a lot of cliffs around here.

Happy to see you here! Would not have been the same without you. Not at all.
:heart:
That’s an Opera smiley — don’t know most of the WordPress ones.
:heart: backatcha, Edward, and thank you.
I don’t know the wordpress ones yet, either. I wish “the powers that be” would just standardize the dang things.
š
Yeah it is stupid, they should be more or less universal, like typography stuff.
Here’s a quick list. Evidently there are more that you can get if you download them but I haven’t got that far yet.

Hmm, facebook, huh? Just my luck.

Oops, my bad. I meant to put up the WordPress smileys. Anyway, they aren’t as good as Opera smileys. Kinda lame.
S. will be having a post up here in a few days for Christmas, so will talk with you then hopefully.
Welcome, Star. Glad to see you.
Thank you, dW. You, too!
š
Don’t panic! WordPress is actually very easy. Just keep it simple for now. And ask questions! I can help.
Thank you, Felix.
š
hope it will work out!
Me, too, Dirk. Change freaks me out sometimes, and everything seems to be changing right now.
Thank you all for showing up and commenting. Wasn’t sure I had done anything right. š
And thank you, Felix, for your offer of help. I just might take you up on it. Still haven’t had time (or inclination, yet–been too swamped with some other things) to try to move everything over, but I will probably need help with it. I can figure out some stuff, but it’s mostly limited to thingies and whatchamacallits.

Hi Star. Nice to see you here. I’m still hunting a pecking myself. My Opera got over here ok, but I still have to retrieve my albums. Didn’t want to do an export again which is what was suggested. Once I get my pc back from the repair shop, I get the rest of my photos. I’m hoping to be a little more active on my blog since my granddaughter goes to pre school three mornings a week for 2 and a half hours. Usually, I make my appointments then, but now since it’s so cold, I don’t like going out at all.
I’ll be glad to see more of you, Pam. I’ve missed you.
š
We all have.
Hi there!!! š
Hi, Darko!
š
Great youĀ“ve moved over Star š
Thank you, Nic. Glad to see you here.
š
So glad to see you here, Star! I’m getting to know WordPress…I miss the Opera smilies, though :right:
Me, too, Adele. I have figured out š and :D, but that’s about it. Not very expressive, huh?
š
Not too many of them as in OC, but anyway:

Aha! Thanks š
Actually, these are quite fun š” :p š
Welcome, Star! WordPress is actually far easier to use than Opera. But it’s still sad to see Opera go. š¦
Thank you, Naomi. I’m still a novice with it. And I miss Opera terribly. I am discovering just how resistant to change that I truly am. š
I think it would be easier if I had more time to fiddle around with it, though. I’ve just started a new part-time job, and started some volunteer work, too. Gotten pretty busy, and I am. not. a multi-tasker. š
Glad to see you here, too. I love your fingerpaintings. š
Copy the smily list for WP, put it in your pooter, and print the things. Tape the prints up next to your machine.
And, I have also gone back over to MyOpera and copied the smilies that I fancied to my pooter, and from there to Photobucket. Then use the HTML URL, and paste it in here. It works, but it takes a while until someone approves of the comment. If you do it on your own stuff, it appears straightaway.
Thank you, dW. I appreciate the help you’ve given me here. Hopefully, it’ll be helpful to anybody else who needs it, too.

Hey, Star. Trying to get the blog going again and just thought I would stop by and say hello. I hope you are well and happy. Kisses from Sasha! ā¤
Hi, Star, Don’t fret, I’m still trying to figure out how to make a ‘sticky post’–the instructions seem to be absent! Nice to see you here!
