Tested: Twitip ID Plugin
There is a really neat plugin named Twitip-ID for WordPress. As you can see, if you have commented on this site I was using this plugin.
While it is still in beta testing I feel that it is a really nice plugin, plus it will automatically put the required field into your comments template without any editing. I choice to to manually input the field for custom css and styling.
This plugin is really awesome and allows for other to employ their Twitter ID for other to follow them, giving a little more incentive for people to comment:).
But I have been having a little problem. The Twitter ID’s are generated and stored into the post’s meta as a custom field. Im not sure if I am the only one affectied by this, but as time passed the custom fields generated by commentators started to take over the drop box, and wouldn’t allow the regular custom fields I use to show.
Another think i would like to touch base on is the fact that even if a comment got cought and filtered through Akismet, the custom field of some spammy email address and aa value close to SncSJHfd6sNSs was still generated and stored in the Database of the post..
So from my perspective, I am going to deactivate this plugin at this time and hope the the next releases with touch base on some of these issues.
Update:
Following a message I posted on the WP Twitip ID forum, Andy Bailey replied:
I am working on an update to the twitip plugin. at the moment it is only at beta stage and I have a few things I want to add or change for a proper release. I will get on it as soon as I can!

Scheduled Post Shift
I just came across an article over at WPHacks.com about a “how to” shift and bring back posts hidden way in the archive. Seems really interesting, cause I have a few blog sites myself and some of them like thefrosty.com and jeanasays.com. Theses sites have been working hard for a long while and have built up a good 20 plus paginated archive of posts.
So I am going to try and download the plugin Scheduled Post Shift Plugin by Dagon Design.
Once I have a chance to review this plugin I will surely write about it. 🙂

Comment Validation
Another plugin I am using on this site: Comment Validation by Jörn Zaefferer.
From Jörn’s site:
Why should you install it? Because you care for comments and want to help users reduce mistakes that hold them off from commenting at all.
Whats the technology used? jQuery and the jQuery Validation plugin with a few customizations to make it fit into the standard WordPress theme.
Is it compatible with other plugins? The plugin is tested with the Draw Comments plugin and works, though the performance is slightly degraded. Other plugins haven’t yet been tested.
Download WordPress-Comment-Validation-Plugin (zip)
And.. Test it out below, but then, do leave a true comment. 🙂
