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.
