Did you know that you can use emoticons in WordPress Posts? I discovered the smilies feature by reading the Codex…

The WordPress Codex

The Codex is the encyclopedia of all things WordPress. It is the most comprehensive source of information for WordPress available.

The Development Blog

This is where you’ll find the latest updates and news related to WordPress. Bookmark and check often.

WordPress Planet

The WordPress Planet is a news aggregator that brings together posts from WordPress blogs around the web.

WordPress Support Forums

If you’ve looked everywhere and still can’t find an answer, the support forums are very active and have a large community ready to help. To help them help you be sure to use a descriptive thread title and describe your question in as much detail as possible.

WordPress IRC Channel

Finally, there is an online chat channel that is used for discussion among people who use WordPress and occasionally support topics. The above wiki page should point you in the right direction. (irc.freenode.net #wordpress)
