Smilies should have a smaller margin
Smilies 
aren’t used very often in blog posts 
as far as I can see but in case you DO want to use them (regularely or often) it’s important to see whether they are styled appropriately. Smilies should have a smaller margin than regular images 
or they won’t integrate very well into the text flow 
due to their small size. If you see huge spaces around the smilies in this text, then chances are that there isn’t a specific css class 
for smilies and consequently they get the huge margin settings of regular images 
because smilies are images too after all.
If smilies look strange in this theme but you like the theme and DO want to use smilies, you can fix the smiley style by adding the following to the bottom of the file style.css in your theme folder:
img.wp-smiley {
float: none ; /* don’t float smilies */
border: none; /* no borders */
margin: 0 3px; /* 0 top/bottom, 3px left/right
salt to taste */
}
