 * I’ve created my first WordPress 1.2 plugin:
    [http://www.skippy.net/wp_test/index.php](http://www.skippy.net/wp_test/index.php)
   When activated, this comment will send email the commenter with a unique link.
   Visiting that link will authorize the comment for immediate posting. It’s not
   a perfect solution to comment spam, and it’s certainly rough around the edges,
   but it’s working well enough to share.

 * Plugin installation is a breeze and works flawlessly for me. For anyone running
   the 1.2 nightly’s, you should give it a try.

 * I tried this and got the email but clicking on the link just gave me a blank 
   page. Good idea though.

 * Does the link authorize future posts, as in is it a one-time check, or a check
   each time?

 * I was just thinking about what a good idea this would be as I opened the support
   forum. Nice work and thanks.

 * I’m having difficulty getting this to work. I didn’t change a thing in both files.
   Would the fact that readers go to a redirect page after they’ve mad a comment
   have anything to do with it, or that I’ve renemed my wp-comments.php?
