[Developers] Blog properties and ping idea

[Shawn Simister]

Thats exactly what I was thinking. Since most topics still have big ugly 
IDs, an auto-complete input would really increase the usability.
I think it would be cool if this worked as a WordPress plugin but I 
don't know much about PHP or WP internals so I'm not even sure if its 
possible.
