I understand why there is a smiley face gif embedded in my blog homepage. However, do you have to put it right up near the top of the screen? Why not put it down at the bottom somewhere more out of sight so that it isn’t what discerning eyes are drawn to as a distraction from the actual purpose of my blog?

It’s an indication your stats are being collected. It’s tiny so I don’t imagine that it will distract anyone at all. http://en.support.wordpress.com/smiley-on-your-blog/

Yes. As I indicated in my question, I already understood WHY it was there…

And, ummm — it distracts ME. It’s like a spot on someone’s tie. Once you see it, you can’t NOT see it! :)

If you have the Custom Design upgrade, you can easily hide the smiley.

To answer your original question, it was just a design choice by the theme author who originally designed the Spring Loaded theme. They probably liked the smiley. :)

Here’s an example showing how to move it to the bottom of the page:
```
#wpstats {
	position: relative;
	bottom: 28px;
}
```
