After a lot of PHP hackery, I have finally gotten my moods to work - too bad I can’t mix the moods, otherwise I would be showing mild annoyance along with accomplishment and great joy…but I still gotta give props to the man who came up with the original code (which has been thoroughly hacked up by yours truly - well not really, but it sounded good) ::Kevin McDuffee:: and a gracious thank you for ::Jonathan Weiner:: who provided these loverly mood icons. I’ll eventually get around to designing my own - but, hmm…that’s way off in the future somewhere.

Of course, I tweaked it so that I could show it after my categories in a new paragraph, however, I was unable to get it to display properly after my name or time…I’ll have to save that for another day - right now it’s time for me to get to work

**Update** early evening by teli
I’ve just mozied on over to Mr. McDuffee’s website and realized I was not the only one looking for a way to get my mood to display somewhere other than after the time (that is, if I were using the normal time), so I’ve decided to let you know what I did to the file…

1. First (and this is a preference thing - you can leave it if you want to), on line 25 I removed:
print '  ';

2. Second (and again, this is a preference thing), on line 26 I edited:
print '(Current Mood: ';
I wanted it to say my mood without the parentheses and start a new paragraph - with my changes, the code looked like:
print '<p>my mood: ';

3. Third (you can skip this is you want the parentheses or you don’t want a new paragraph), on line 27 I changed the code to:
<img src="' . get_settings('siteurl') . $mood_icon_dir . $mood . $mood_icon_ext . '" alt="' . $mood . '" title="' . $mood . '" /></p>';

4. Finally, on line 31 I edited the code which read:
add_filter('the_time', 'moody')
I changed it to:
add_filter('the_cateogory', 'moody')

Once you’re done, save it, upload it, try it out. You should now have a mood starting a new paragraph just after your category (reminder - if you are using CSS to style your paragraph, your mood text will take on those properties - you may want to use a span for it which is what I did).

I’ll work on making my CSS code leaner and meaner as more time presents itself…
