Inserting symbols in WordPress

From my stats, I saw that some had stumbled upon my blog with search results such as ‘inserting symbols in wordpress’. Previously, I had an entry on how to insert symbols on an iPhone, hence the traffic, but I’ve decided to that I might as well do one on how to insert symbols in WordPress, or virtually anywhere!

There are several methods to doing this, but I will explain 2 of which do not require you to have any prior knowledge on HTML and all that jazz.

Method 1 (for WordPress)

1. On the New Post page, ensure that you’re on Visual for your writing area.
2. There should be a row of buttons/icons – Bold, Italic, Strikeout etc.
3. If there is only one row, click the LAST icon in that row. Another row of buttons/icons will appear.
4. On the second row, click the Ω Omega sign and a symbol box will appear.
5. Choose the symbol that you want, and it should appear in your post.

 

Method 2 (for virtually anywhere, Windows users)

1. Click Start > Run.
2. Enter “charmap”
3. Browse through the incredibly vast array of symbols, and click on the one you desire.
4. Click Copy.
5. Go to where you wish to insert your symbol and press Ctrl+V or right-click and select Paste.

Hope these help, happy symbol-ing guys! ☺

Eye Desires

 A few months back, I spent a while contemplating if I should hop onto the M.A.C brushes bandwagon. I decided to give it a try because I’ve heard about how a good quality brush can revolutionize the way your makeup looks. I did my research and made a list of a few staple pieces, wholeheartedly with the intentions of not going overboard. Unfortunately, it is so easy to get suckered into the world of smoooth black handles, and shiny silver ferrels. Pffft, what staples? I need them all!

Though, I’ve managed to amass quite a few brushes, it doesn’t stop me from wishing for more. To date, these are the few more eye extras that I’m desiring for..

(from left to right)

1. 227 Large Fluff Brush – Imagine how easy it would be to provide a wash of colour when I’m in a rush, or how perfect it’d be as a highlighter brush (not that I don’t already have one..)
2. 209 Eye Liner Brush – The name speaks for itself, eyeliner! (not that I don’t already have one..)
3. 214 Short Shader Brush – Seriously imagining how awesome it would be for smoking out the lower lashline. Imagining is the word, not sure how great it’d really be.
4. 222 Tapered Blending Brush – I have a small crease, great for deepening the crease (not that I don’t already have one..)
5. 219 Pencil Brush – For smoking out the eyes easily. Didn’t I just mention this earlier? Oh right, this will be great for inner corner as well.
6. 224 Tapered Blending Brush - Nice to have to simply floof over colours (not that I don’t already have one..)
7. 272 Small Angled Shader Brush – Purely desire

One set of face, one pair of eyes, soooo many brushes. Girls…

Admittedly though, good brushes do help in creating a smoother, flawless application. So, can you guys guess what was my first M.A.C brush?
