When adding stickers to reviews, travelogues, tutorials, and everyday writing, the first question that arises is: where should they be placed to enhance the text, and where do they start to become a hindrance?
Let’s say you put a character sticker between travel photos. The text might become cuter, but the reader might pause, wondering if the sticker represents a location or an emotion.
The correct approach is to define the role of stickers based on the genre. Stickers are more like signs than decorations.
The sticker is a signpost for the text.
The stickers feature characters with expressions, images with short phrases, dividers and emphasis marks, and moving elements. Even for the same type of sticker, the tasks involved may vary depending on the content.
Naver OGQ Market also features stickers categorized by their intended use, such as blog posts, comments, travel, sports, photos, and music. This is why people don’t just choose stickers based on their cuteness.
You may want to transfer expressions that you are familiar with from Naver blogs and messengers to WordPress. WordPress allows you to enter basic emojis as text, and it also displays emojis as image files for device compatibility.
However, simply copying something and recreating a function with the same purpose are different things.
Why would someone want to migrate to WordPress?
Character stickers have evolved beyond simple decoration and have become a way to express content. As of 2026, OGQ Creator Studio boasts over 1,000,000 creators and a cumulative sales record of over 2,800,000,000 units.
These numbers demonstrate that the stickers are not intended as temporary decorations. The way Naver blog users express the tone and personality of their posts using stickers is also connected to this trend.
In WordPress, it is important to carefully consider the scope of usage. Even if you have seen or purchased a sticker on another platform, you must separately verify whether it can be used on a personal website, promotional materials, or products for sale.
Functionality is more important than cuteness.
For each genre, assign one specific role.
The criteria for selecting stickers are not based on whether they are “cute.” The criteria are whether readers can quickly identify the necessary information for making judgments, taking actions, or experiencing emotions while reading.
When the genre changes, the role also changes.
Please indicate the reviewer’s position in the review.
The review format, with indicators clearly marking the conclusion, such as “recommended,” “caution,” or “no intention to repurchase,” is well-designed. Using star ratings or character icons only in the subheadings and summary sections allows readers to get a sense of the content before reading the entire article.
However, do not replace the grade itself with a sticker. The grade and the criteria for comparison should be written in text, and the sticker should remain a visual aid to assist in understanding.
Ratings must be entered as text.
In travelogues, please indicate the scenes and routes.
In a travel journal, you can place stickers at points where the location, mode of transportation, meals, or rest stops change. This method is used to indicate a change in scene, rather than simply repeating the same character between photos.
You can place movement indicators where movement begins, and food-related indicators in front of meal records. To avoid stickers obscuring the photos, it is safer to arrange the still images to fit the flow of the main text.
In travelogues, indicate scene transitions.
Please provide a tutorial that demonstrates the sequence of actions.
In a tutorial, what is needed is clear indicators like “Start,” “Click,” “Caution,” and “Complete,” rather than characters expressing surprise. Including emotional characters in each step can make the screen cluttered and obscure the tasks that need to be performed.
Use simple icons with clear text and meaning sparingly, only as subheadings or before steps. Even without the stickers, users should be able to follow the sequence.
In the tutorial, the order of actions is prioritized.
For everyday writing, let the atmosphere and transitions take care of themselves.
In everyday writing, the rhythm and flow of the scene are more important than precise judgments. It is more natural to place characters or short phrases only at the beginning, at the moment when emotions change, and at the end of the day.
Adding stickers to every paragraph disrupts the natural flow of the text. However, if the role of stickers is limited to creating atmosphere and transitions within a piece of writing, it can actually make the writing more distinctive.
In everyday writing, only indicate changes in emotion.
Simply putting in a lot of effort does not necessarily lead to a closer relationship.
The most common mistake is to think that the more stickers there are, the warmer the text becomes. When the same expression appears repeatedly, the reader perceives it not as information, but as background decoration.
Putting in a lot of effort does not necessarily make you more approachable.
The second mistake is to simply copy stickers from other platforms. OGQ’s licensing guidelines divide the usage of its content into different categories, distinguishing between use in affiliated services like Naver services or blogs, and use on personal websites, in advertisements, or for products being sold.
Simply seeing something on a platform does not mean that WordPress and commercial use are permitted. Before transferring files, confirm the scope of usage. If you are unsure, it is safer to choose basic emojis or icons that you have created yourself.
Simply viewing something on a platform does not grant you the right to use it.
The third mistake is believing that images can replace text. Even if WordPress considers accessibility, not all themes automatically guarantee a readable environment for all users.
If the text within a sticker is too small or cannot be distinguished on a dark screen, information may be lost. To ensure that the core content remains even if the image is unavailable, write the text first, and carefully review alternative descriptions or instructions for any necessary images.
Text comes first.
Points where direct deployment is problematic.
The method of manually adding each sticker may seem simple at first. However, it takes time to determine where to place each sticker, it can obscure the main text on the mobile screen, and it requires re-verifying the usage rights for each image.
As more text accumulates, the problems become more apparent. A person must manually check whether the same icon is repeated in each title, whether the text is readable on a dark screen, and whether the license information is still present.
Small decorations can become a source of management problems.
Even when using these tools, they cannot replace human judgment. It is still necessary to determine the appropriate placement for each item, verify usage rights, and check for mobile screen compatibility and alternative descriptions.
Using DecoBlocks to arrange decorations by genre.
If you need to manage the placement of stickers and the hierarchy of text within a single editing screen, DecoBlocks is relevant to this topic. You can use the Block Editor and the Classic Editor to group related content using a Section Box (Solid), highlight necessary sentences with Highlight (Yellow), and divide sections with a Divider Line – Solid. For a list of tutorial steps, you can use a Custom Bullet List. For indicating scenes or emotions, you can use Insert Character Sticker and Speech Bubble (Left).
The conclusion or cautionary sentences in a review can be marked with Highlight (Yellow), and scene transitions in a travelogue can be separated with Divider Line – Solid. Insert Character Sticker can be placed sparingly in specific scenes of everyday writing, and a table of contents for the H2 and H3 headings of a long article can be created with Auto Table of Contents. If the text inside decorations is difficult to see because of the site’s background and theme colors, you can change the default color list displayed in the editor in Color Palette.
In WordPress, only move the functions.
For articles where judgment and action are important, such as reviews and tutorials, use text-based or functional icons only in the subheadings and summary sections. For articles where atmosphere is important, such as travelogues and personal essays, you can place characters sparingly in scenes where the setting changes.
- Review: Displays both ratings and text reviews.
- Travelogue: Indicates changes in location and mode of transportation.
- Tutorial: Clearly states the beginning, precautions, and completion.
- Daily Use: Only decorate areas where there are changes in emotion.
When selecting images for WordPress, choose from basic emojis, icons you create yourself, or images with clearly defined usage rights. Instead of simply copying platform-specific stickers, it is more appropriate to recreate the functionality of those stickers using a new approach.
Even if the sticker is removed, the essential information must remain.
Conversely, if the meaning disappears the moment the sticker is removed, then the text must be redesigned before the sticker is applied.
The principle that the reading order must remain even after removing stickers serves as a criterion for selecting the type of decoration. With DecoBlocks, you can independently choose the heading level and font size for text blocks, and highlight only the necessary sentences in yellow.
The list can be separated using a custom bullet list, and areas without decoration can remain as plain text to limit the visual elements. This allows the stickers to be placed within the structure of the text, rather than serving as a replacement for the entire information.
Frequently Asked Questions.
Q. What should I do if it’s unclear whether my writing is a review or a personal account?
A. Choose the writing style that best suits the information the reader should obtain first from the text. If the focus is on analysis and judgment, use the “review” style; if the focus is on atmosphere and scene transitions, use the “daily life” style.
Q. Can I upload stickers that I used in Naver or Messenger directly to WordPress?
A. Instead of directly uploading, it is important to first check the scope of the license. The permitted uses on the platform may differ from those allowed on personal websites, in advertisements, or for products being sold.
Q. Can this problem be easily solved using a tool? What kind of tool should be used?
A. Even if you use tools, they will not determine the license or placement criteria for you. Choose easily manageable materials, such as basic emojis, self-made icons, and images with confirmed usage rights, and directly check the mobile screen display and alternative text.
Q. Can speech bubbles, boxes, and characters be used together in Hangul?
A. It is possible, but it is necessary to determine the role and position of each element so that they do not overlap.
In DecoBlocks, the Speech Bubble (Left), Section Box (Solid), and Insert Character Sticker can be used as speech bubbles, content sections, and character decorations, respectively. Using the Divider Line – Solid, you can also define the extent to which the decorations are connected.
