Smilies 2.0 Plugin Renaming Contest

Let’s rename a new and popular dish!

2005/12/25 Update: Icon-o-matic is now available!

Much to my surprise, there’s another plugin named “Smilies.” It was released on the same day as my version (or close to it.)

So I need a new name for my plugin. Besides, “Smilies” is a poor name for what all it does now! Want a tease? Have a look at some of these screenshots!

The screenshots give a lot away!

  • Use any smiley, emoticon, or picture in the smiley bar. It’s as easy as uploading the image to your webserver—and you’re done!
  • Do you want to use a lot of icons and have a larger screen? Move the icon bar to the right of your entry and extended entry. A scroll bar appears if necessary.
  • Let your commenters add smilies (or any other icon!) to their comment.

Obviously, this plugin does a lot more than the Smilies plugin did. What do you think would be a good name for it? The winner will have a free meal at the EDSMT Bistro and a free copy of the plugin to be named 2.0!

The Smiles plugin is nearing a 2.0 release but Dan wants to rename it and he’s offering an excellent prize!

Does anybody have any “obvious” suggestions? One name I was thinking of was the Easy Icon Inserter.

How about Image (or Icon) Bar. It looks like a bar above the entry box AND it goes with the EDSMT restaurant/bistro/eatery theme.

MT Icon-o-matic, MT IconMagik, MT SmileCom, MT SmIcon (Smiley & Icon)

Just a few ideas…

MT SmileCom was supposed to be MT SmileCon

Well, if it matters, at this point I’d say Icon Bar an Icon-o-matic are the front runners.

And by the way, I’m a little surprised nobody has posted a comment with a smiley yet!

I liked MT Emotions suggested earlier, but I think it would be nicer spelled out as: MovableEmotions or MovableEmoticons (ME for short) http://www.eatdrinksleepmovabletype.com/smilies/biggrin.gif

Also, perhaps PostableEmotions or PostableEmoticons

Oh sure, I used a smiley and I did it wrong…

This popped up in my mind: Iconizer
