I was used to associating moods with my posts. After a long, long search, I found a good mood plugin for Wordpress.

After trying out three or four plugins of the same kind, I installed Cricket Moods.

1. Download the plugin here.
2. Place cricket-moods.php into /wp-content/plugins.
3. Activate the Cricket Moods plugin from the Plugin Management panel of WordPress.

Some friendly tips:

• The mood settings in the Cricket Moods page under Settings are for the default moods for new users. It is better to add your own moods in Manage Moods panel page in http://<domain.com>/wp-admin/tools.php?page=cm-manage-moods.
• In my case, I did some changes in my cricket-moods.php file for the mood panel display in Add New Post page. In the foreach loop in cm_list_select_moods(), I added style="overflow:scroll; height: 200px" for a scrollable mood panel display for the 132 moods I added. It’s better that way.

If you’re an old Livejournal user, you can use this for your Wordpress blog.
