## Description

**Avalicious!** is a WordPress plugin that integrates LiveJournal, Dreamwidth, and
Tumblr user avatars in WordPress comments. It is a functional re-write of [Also LJ Avatar](http://alltrees.org/Wordpress/#ALA)(
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
 * the regexps for extracting avatars have been improved
 * the user’s journal URL is extracted from a comment’s URL (not the name)
 * the user’s name is not re-written.

#### Version 1.3.3

 * Minor fixes. Should not have better compatibility with Dreamwidth icons.

#### Version 1.3.2

 * Should now work with both HTTP _and_ HTTPS Tumblrs. Magic!

#### Version 1.3.1

 * Small regexp fixes.

#### Version 1.3

 * Added support for Tumblr icons.
 * Old icons are now cleaned up automatically every month.
 * Small bugfixes.

### Credits

**Avalicious!** is based off the original [Also LJ Avatar](http://alltrees.org/Wordpress/#ALA)
by Ravenwood and Irwin. No disrespect is intended towards the original authors; 
without their great work, this plugin wouldn’t have been possible (or at least would’ve
taken a hell of a lot longer to write).

## Installation

 1. Upload the `avalicious` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 2. If required, make the `avalicious/danga-icons` directory writable (though the plugin
    should work without it).
 3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
