How to use Smiley the right way in Google+

If you use lot of smileys like me in Google+, then use this smiley :) instead of this :-). When you add two or more smileys with the latter, the sentence between the two smileys gets a strike through like the above example.

This is because, you can get a strike through with just the dashes alone between the sentences or words. e.g. -Google- (no space between the dashes, the word gets a strike through in Google+.

There are also other Google+ hacks, you can add a * at the beginning and at the end to make the sentence or the word bold (e.g. *Google*) or you can add a _ at the beginning and at the end to make the sentence or the word in italics (e.g. _Google_)
