History of this plugin

Added Gravatar support. Choose which service you would look at first (Gravatar or MyBlogLog), grab the avatar from that service and if there isn't an avatar for the given user there, then try to grab one from the other service. If that service doesn't contain an avatar either, then return the anonymous avatar.

Made the plugin a little more intelligent. Now it automaticall downloads the anonymous avatar for each service and afterwards checks a users avatar against those anonymous avatars. This method makes the option "mbl anonymous avatar size" obsolete, so I have removed that.

The cache content has also been rewritten in order to handle both types of avatars. Rewrote major parts of the plugin

When I changed the fetch-method in v0.10 I forgot to also change the method where I check for the latest version. This has been fixed now. Thanks Joe

The way I find out if a post is a comment, pingback or an actual post was flawed. Thanks Dennys for pointing this out.

I have also removed the custom class and style on the anonymous avatar selection list, so styles with i.e. float: right; doesn't mess it all up. Dennys also gets the credit for pointing this out.

2007-05-28 - v0.20

Widened the automatic cleanup of corrupted/invalid avatars

Added support for customizing which URL the avatar links to. There might come more options for this, but right now I can't find think of what more to add.

2007-07-31 - v0.24

Major parts of the plugin has been rewritten, including the parts that handle which services it's possible to use. This means that when/if i.e. Facebook decides to add a way of querying avatars, then it should be rather simple to add that to the list of services.

The "Avatar Fetch Cycle" has been introduced

The available options has been cut down to the most essential, but instead of cutting down on the customization then it's now possible to customize the generated HTML code 100%.

Added GooglePreview's avatars which rendered MyBlogLog site avatars obsolete. This also means that there is no use for MyBlogLog ID anymore.

Added Gravatar ratings to the MBLA option page

Some functions has gotten a major overhaul which has resulted in lesser function calls and hopefully faster execution time

Added some minor error handling statements if any of the function names are already defined which include conflicts with other plugins

Changed the way log files are created. Now a log file will be created for each page that has been called with the debug key. The log files can be viewed from the MBLA Cache Content

2007-11-06 - v0.38

Added a filter hook so the plugin is one step closer to work by just activating it. Big thanks to Alex for suggesting this.

Created default values for the HTML options which brings the plugin yet another step closer to work by just activating it. Big thanks to Alex for suggesting this.
