If you want to go the typographic way, you have the wrong kind of single quotes in your message (' vs. ’) and of course the wrong kind of double quotes. Having the comma outside the quotes is considered ok-ish, especially in the programming world, but it should usually be inside. Regarding the missing dot for your final sentence it’s alright; the smiley can sometimes be considered a replacement for it. | |

I wouldn't go so far with the 'should'. The recommendation only really applies when you are typesetting a book (specifically a novel) or something like that. Text on the web is still so ugly, that isolated demands for aesthetics seem a bit misguided. |
