Moderate blog comments from your Desktop!!
Two comments awaiting for moderation on my blog!
I discovered couple of days back that now there is no need to check wordpress admin every hour to see whether there are any new comments or not.
All it takes is a wordpress plugin and an application. The application sits in your Desktop - System tray and notifies whenever there is a new comment made on your blog, something similar to yahoo messenger or Gtalk.
Isn’t great?
The Wordpress plugin is Moderator. and is written by Daniel Dura
Moderator is a combination of a WordPress plugin and an Adobe Air Application.
Adobe AIR application will sit on your desktop in system tray:
- Viewing unmoderated comments.
- Dock and system tray notifications of the number of unmoderated comments.
- Accept, delete, and spam comments from within the desktop client.
- Close application window, or minimize it to the system tray while running.
- Shows the Gravatar icons for the user who posted the comment.
Install and activate the plugin, then download and install the Adobe Air application. Once the installation goes smoothly, you will see a black colored window appearing. Just enter wordpress username and password. Its Done!!

How to Beautify Code samples in your post using Syntax Highlighter
I was reading Do you need all those revisions? post from Nice2All blog. In the post, i found piece of SQL and PHP code.
Below is the Sample 1, how the code looked in that post:
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
document.write("<i>Hello World!");
//-->
</script>
As you can see that the coloring, formatting is making the code stand out and there are also options like view plain, copy to clipboard, print.
I think i have around 5 posts that show code samples in the posts and here is how it looks.
Below is the Sample 2:
<script type="text/javascript">
<!–
document.write("<i>Hello World!");
//–>
</script>
I know every one would prefer the Sample 1 rather than the Sample 2.
As soon as i read the above mentioned post, i left a comment asking the author about the code format and found out that it can be done by just installing a wordpress plugin called SyntaxHighlighter Plus.

CommentLuv Plugin is now Ajaxed - AjaxedCommentLuv has more exciting features
CommentLuv Wordpress Plugin
I am big fan of CommentLuv Wordpress plugin developed by Andy Bailey from FiddyP. I published a post few months back on How to get more comments and visitors by using CommentLuv Plugin.
I am using CommentLuv plugin on this wordpress blog from May 2008. Andy got so many inputs from the bloggers for improving CommentLuv plugin and his zeal made him to improve the plugin. This week he has released a new version of CommentLuv called AjaxCommentLuv.
From CommentLuv:
CommentLuv and AjaxCommentLuv enable you to reward your blog readers by leaving a titled link to their last post automatically whenever they comment thus encouraging more comments by more people on more posts!
It has been found to increase comments and traffic to blogs and their commentators. It currently runs as a Wordpress or Drupal plugin with a new AJAX version coming soon compatible with a wide range of blogs.
The previous version of commentluv used to grab the last post of the commentator. But new verison of commentluv will allow the commentator to select any one of his/her from last 10 posts.
If you register your site for free at CommentLuv.com you will be able to open up lots of features that are for members only like link tracking so you can see which of the comments you make on CommentLuv blogs are getting the last blog post clicked. Do NOT enter a number if you do not have one
Steps to setup CommentLuv Plugin : (skip step 2 to 4 if you don’t want to register your site)
Broken Links Remover - A must Wordpress Plugin
Today, I will show you a very useful wordpress plugin that i discovered recently.
The name of this Wordpress plugin is Broken links Remover. Rajesh from TechBlissOnline has developed this great plugin. If you like this plugin you can vote for the plugin in the wordpress 2008 competition here
Broken Links Remover checks your posts for broken links. If it finds one then it will make that link as normal text so that your readers will not see any dead links.
This plugin will help keep your site clean by hiding all bad/broken links. As soon as it finds a bad or broken link, it will notify the link with appropriate post under Manage -> Bad Links Wordpress admin page. You can check below the snapshot of my blog, there are 5 pages of bad links. I have to go through all and correct it
