		<description>Maaaan, that&#039;d been bugging me for awhile. I&#039;ve been tweaking/editing a simple theme for awhile now and couldn&#039;t figure out where that thing was coming from!</description>

		<description>Christopher - thanks for this post. Cute? Maybe... but I thought my site had been hacked. Cute? I don&#039;t think so... because the Smiley doesn&#039;t show up when working on my site from my primary computer (where I installed the plugin from). The smiley only shows up to visitors and I only noticed once I viewed my website while traveling. WTF. This sure makes it seem like an effort to hide the smiley, if so why? And why not tell us about it and allow control? I have to seriously question what this plugins true goals are. Uninstalled for me until I find out.</description>

		<description>I think you&#039;re confusing the smiley face that WordPress stats uses, which is an image file (http://stats.wordpress.com/g.gif), with the colon followed by a close parentheses which looks like this :)

Although WordPress use an image of a smiley face, it could be an image of anything.

Hope that make sense!</description>
