Wordpress Plugin – Desktop Comment Moderator

When a blog continues to publish some good content, the visitors come back again. The more they get attached to the blog, more likely it gets to see their comments on individual posts. In due course of time, when you begin to get a lot of comments, it gets difficult to log on to the WordPress admin panel and approve/deny a comment.

How about controlling the entire comment system for you blog from a standalone desktop application? One that runs on the Adobe air platform!

Moderator is just that! A great WordPress plugin that has proved to be a boon to web publishers. All you need to do is install the plugin to your WP blog, download and install Adobe AIR and the corresponding setup file for the Moderator plugin to set your comment system on a drool! You will not need to log on to the admin panel of your blog in just order to approve the comments.

Few of the features of this awesome plugin include;

• Accept, delete, and spam comments from within the desktop client.
• System tray notification for un-moderated comments.
• Gravatar icons for the user comments.

The plugin has a minimum requirement of  WordPress 2.6+ of  and Adobe AIR 1.1.
