The first column shows the emoticon image, the second column is what you should type in a post (minus the single quote marks, ‘ and ’ ), and the third column is the file name (just for your reference).

For example,    ‘;-)’ won’t give me my image, but if I omit those little single quote marks, WordPress will translate that to (assuming the WP blog you are using has smilies enabled).

I know some folks hate smileys, but I think a smiley or two can be fun, when not overused in a post – few of us want our posts to look like an image gallery of the little buggers.
