[EDIT] Sorry about the title of the post.

I personally follow a few simple rules to make sure that I never fall for a social engineering or covert code trap on my blogs.

• Always download core WordPress code from http://WordPress.org. Type the link into your browser address bar rather than following a link from another blog or site. This includes updates and security fixes. If your web host offers one click installs or upgrades through their control panel, they are probably safe (they are safe if they are on a current version). I still suggest either installing a fresh copy from WordPress.org or using WordPress.com, but I do understand that one click installs are convenient.
• Try to download plugins and themes only from the official WordPress Extend. There are way too many themes and plugins (though much less plugins) that contain convert code and new WordPress theme download sites seem to be popping up everyday. We have covered shady themes many times on this blog.
• Never download “hacks” or “patches” to WordPress from anywhere. If you are unfamiliar with PHP, I would suggest that you ask people in the WordPress forums for help or contact us through our form on this blog for help. Always download official patches, updates and installs from the WordPress.org site.
• If you find a cool new trick, theme, plugin or hack for WordPress via a Google search, please be careful. I know the following is a cliche’, but if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.

Do you have any suggestions for our other readers? Have you found strange code on your blog or theme?

I recently talked about a tutorial on creating Custom Write Panels in WordPress and thanks to WPCandy, have now found a pretty slick plugin that mimics that feature and adds a lot more. Flutter lets your modify your write page and post screens to your liking and adds the ability to add custom content types and write panels to these screens. From WP Candy’s review and from the Flutter documentation, it appears that the plugin is not only under active development and quite complex and mature, it also has a lot of potential for the future. For those that are planning to use Flutter, please remember that it is still in beta and there are lots of broken features and options. Upgrades and uninstallations seem to be the most fraught with issues.

• 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.

After installing and then activating the plugin, I installed the application. Installation went smoothly and now I have access to my comment moderation queue right from my desktop. An additional touch is that, my Windows taskbar now has an icon that mimics the comment moderation bubble graphic with a number that represents the amount of comments in the moderation queue. Pretty cool stuff.

For those of you that have hundreds of comments in your moderation queue, you may see some performance issues. However, Daniel explains that those will be fixed in the next version. Daniel will also modify the theme of the application to align it’s design with the WordPress 2.7 backend. Last but not least, as soon as 2.7 is released, the application will support the comment moderation methods that will be included. This should allow the App to run without installing a plugin.

Considering the WordPress team is working on a comment API, I imagine that in the future, we’ll be able to reply to comments as well as moderating them from the desktop with this application. It will be interesting to see if Moderator evolves into something more than just a Moderation app.
