Whether you're feeling elated, overjoyed, goofy or downright jolly, express it with a digital smile. Smiley faces dress up and animate ideas, give readers something to look at other than text, and are easy to make with a few easy keystrokes.

Instructions 

1. Write a sentence to accompany your smiley face. The best place for a smiley face is near an expression of happiness, next to a funny story, or by a joke.
    
2. Choose the smiley face that you want to use from the following options:
   Happy :) - Colon followed by a parentheses
   Very happy =) - Equals sign followed by a parentheses
   Grinning :D - Colon followed by an uppercase "D"
   Cat smiling ^_^ - Shift and press six, underscore, Shift and press six
   Wink smile ;) - Semicolon followed by a parentheses
   Goofy smile 8) - Eight followed by a parentheses
   Tongue sticking out :p - Colon followed by a lowercase "p"
   Smiling devil 3:) - Three followed by a colon and parentheses
   Smiling angel 0:) - Zero followed by a colon and parentheses
    
3. Insert the smiley face two spaces behind the period following the appropriate sentence. Here is an example of how to incorporate a smiley face into text naturally: "I had the best time at the fair. :) All my friends showed up."
    
4. Add a nose to any of the smiley faces by inserting a dash in between the eyes and mouth, modifying the smiley face to look like the following examples:
   Happy :-)
   Very happy =-)
   Grinning :-D
   Wink smile ;-)
   Goofy smile 8-)
   Tongue sticking out :-p
   Smiling devil 3:-)
   Smiling angel 0:-)
    
5. Enter the symbols to show a variety of other emotions as well. For example placing a less than sign (<) prior to the numeric three (3) will allow you create the symbol of heart (<3) and similarly placing a slash (/) between < and 3 will denote broken heart (</3).
    
6. Enter two spaces after the smiley face and before beginning the next sentence.

Tips and Warnings!! 

• You can test your own combination of symbols for making emoticons on Facebook as well.
