  Regarding my Blog: joecodeswell.wordpress.com

  Problem: INSIDE my markdown code segment delimited by `, WordPress.com changes ‘:)’ to ‘<span class=”wp-smiley emoji emoji-smile” title=”:)”>:)</span>’.
  I believe whatever is inside a markdown code segment should remain untouched.

  Thanks for the help.

  Love and peace,

  Joe

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  It’s my understanding, though I could be wrong, that the only emoticons that we can use on WordPress.COM hosted blogs are found here > Dashboard > Settings > Writing
  Writing Settings
  Formatting
  Formatting Convert emoticons like :-) and :-P to graphics on display

  Thanks for the reply, timethief.

  I don’t mind the change taking place outside of my code segment. However, inside the code segment I think whatever is there should remain untouched.

  Thanks again, timethief.

  Love and peace,

  Joe

  No problem.

  Maybe I’ll use your suggestion as a workaround for me until i can get a response from the wp.com admins.

  Thanks again, timethief.

  Love and peace,
  Joe
