Ever got annoyed when submitting a comment on a wordpress blog and just getting a blank page with a error message like “please fill out required fields” and nothing else? This plugin aims to help by adding validation to the comment form. When a user submits the form and something is missing, an appropiate message is displayed and individual fields are highlighted. When the email or url is in an incorrect format, a message is displayed accordingly.
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? <a href="http://jquery.com" rel="nofollow ugc">jQuery</a> and the <a href="http://bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-validation/" rel="nofollow ugc">jQuery Validation plugin</a> 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 <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/draw-comments/" rel="ugc">Draw Comments</a> plugin and works, though the performance is slightly degraded. Other plugins haven’t yet been tested.

Comment Validation

This plugin adds client-side validation to the Wordpress comment form, using the jQuery validation plugin.

So do you want the world to know what you just listened to? Do you want to show it off in your… WordPress sidebar? I know I do! What Last.wp does is 
show a few of the songs you just scrobbled over to Last.fm. It stands out beyond the other choices because it does it’s dirty work in Javascript (which can speed up 
your server, because it doesn’t have to make request over to Last.fm every page load, rather your Guests computer does it). It displays album artwork, the song name, 
the artist name, and the album name! Your guests will be AMAZED when they find your recent obsession with Conway Twitty! They’ll gasp in awe when they see how much you 
played the beetles within the past five minutes, and their jaws will drop when they see you’ve been spinning N-Sync albums! Wait no longer, your guests can be amazed today!
On the technical side, Last.wp is powered by a small plugin provided by the kind people over at Engage Interactive. (Thanks for providing it under the GPL guys!). Unfortunatly, 
it requires each person to have their own API key as of now, due to Last.fm’s confusing API system. It’s easy to get one, you just login and go to the API screen, create a new 
application, and Voila, your very own API key! (Consult the Instructions for details)

Last.wp

Last.wp is a Wordpress widget that shows your guests what you've been listening to on Last.fm, via a jQuery plugin!
