Quick Blog Comments Moderation from Your Desktop
October 28, 2008, filed under Quick Internet Tips
Last night I stumbled upon a Wordpress plugin that allow you to moderate comments directly from your desktop, without having to go to your blog admin. It’s called Moderator. Moderator is built using Adobe AIR which you need to install prior to the plugin.
Athough Moderator is in its early release, standard features are already within reach, such as:
- Viewing unmoderated comments from your desktop.
- 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.
Moderator currently requires version 2.6+ of WordPress be installed. Also, you will need Adobe AIR 1.1, which runs on Mac, Windows, and is currently in beta on Linux. And as soon as Wordpress 2.7 is released, this application will support the comment moderation methods that will be included. That should eliminate the need to even install the WordPress plugin. All that would be needed would be the desktop client itself.
Being able to moderate comments without having to log in to the admin panel is helpful enough in my opinion. Another thing I’d like to see in the next release would be the ability to moderate several blogs. Thank you, Daniel!

This sounds great! But I am so cautious now of everything I plug into my html. How does a code challenged newbie like me really know what to trust? I must admit, seeing it on your site gives it “cred” for me. I am just so careful these days.
Thanks for another great post!
