Lets see if I can make this work:
Steemit doesn't convert this :) into 😀
The list of emotes indicates that a smiley face is made by the code :smiley: , but even that does not work (as you can see here).
Oh yea! I like that markdown for the quote! I feel like a kid in a candy store! LOL
:smiley: won't work!
Steemit strips so many markdown styling, for some reason. Perhaps to stop people from feeling like a kid in a candy store! LOL
Eh! You see what I mean! 😂
Copying the emotes as images seems like a lot of extra work. But then again, finding the correct code is just as much trouble, so (meh), I just might use them some day.
You can also use any built-in browser extension - a smiley extension. I do hope you have visited websites like getemoji. It really is ctrl+c and ctrl+v.
True! Which is why I posted the first image.
I think you will do fine. :)
