Always set some attracting status message which suit to your character.

1)

If you wan to make bold , just add Astrix (*) before and after a particular word.

Eg: if you want status like below:

“The score never interested me, only the game.”

Set your status as:

“The *score* never interested me, only the game.”

2)

If you want to make it in italics, like below

“The score never interested me, only the game.”

do this:

“The score _never interested_ me, only the game.”

(dont remember the white space after _ and before _)

Also you can add Unicode character in your status. What to do is select some Unicode character from some website or here and paste on your status message . (not the Unicode number, but the character)

You can use gmail chat imoticons also as your status message

I got some more from another reader Jackie’s comment. They are:

[:|] robot

: ( : ) cow
V . v . V crab

(remove space between letters, i put space to escape from wordpress editor )
