 * I’ve been using (b2) and now WordPress for about a year, and since I’ve started,
   I’ve been using real names for my wife and daughter. Now, I’m rethinking that
   policy. So I’m trying to write a fairly simple hack, modeled on the smilies replacement
   function- that converts 🙂 into an image. I set up an array of b2pseudonyms in
   the config file, but looking at the function file I can’t see how to “add a filter
   that displays a psudonym for each existence of the name.” I’m sure I’m missing
   something on how “add_filter” works; could someone enlighten me?

 * Couldn’t you add this to the smilies array itself?

 * Write an update query to replace “YouDearWife” with “SheWhoMustBeObeyed” in the
   posts table?

 * That would work too, Paulzag, I suppose. Alexkingorg- wouldn’t I wind up with“
   img src=/smilies/shewhomustbeobeyed.gif” ?

 * I misunderstood, I thought you were trying to replace the name with an image.
   
   I think the filtering is done in b2vars.php, poke around in there. 🙂

   Read the whole thread as there are improvements etc further through. It’s for
   b2 but it looks like it’ll work for WP.
