Making ♥ Out Of Nothing At All

Okay it's time to share my secret.

Lots of people like the hearts that I strew all over the internet with regular abandon. And on many many occasion, people have emailed or posted comments asking how I do that.

So today I'm going to share with you how to make ♥s

First off, I should mention that they don't translate to most email programs. So if you send one on email, it will arrive as a jumble. Sorry about that. I have my people working on the matter, but it might be a while.

Still, it does work on most blogs. With TypePad though, if you do this and post a comment, it will simply disappear when your comment is displayed. I have my people working on that too. But don't hold your breath.

So there are two ways to make ♥s. The first is that you can just highlight, copy, and paste them. Voila!

The second way is to type the following without any spaces (I'm putting a space in so that it doesn't convert it automatically. I've made that mistake before):

& hearts;


Once you post your comment on the blog, (or in FaceBook or wherever), you will have your very own heart.

And so there you have it. The simple way to spread a little ♥ around.

♥,
Blue

Sunshine's right. In fact, if you do & hearts; in facebook CHAT, it won't convert. You can either paste or do < 3 (no space) and it'll make a heart. but it doesn't work in most places.
