Avalicious!

Avalicious! is a WordPress plugin that integrates LiveJournal and LJ-clone user avatars in WordPress comments. It is a functional re-write of Also LJ Avatar (itself a re-write of some even older plugins), with the following differences:

User avatars are downloaded via the cURL library, hopefully avoiding issues with hosts that disable remote URL includes (as they should);
The regexps for extracting avatars are significantly improved;
The user’s journal URL is extracted from a comment’s URL (not the name); and
The user’s name is not re-written.
The latest updates about the plug-ins development can be found in the project blog.

Version 1.2.1
LiveJournal changed its userpic subdomain again...
Dummy code for a cron function to clean old avatars added, but not yet live.
Version 1.1
Fixed a small logic bug that was preventing the fetching of non-subdomain URLs.
Version 1.0
It lives! Honestly, I think this is the first plugin I’ve actually released at a whole-number version. Go me.
