<p><strong>JournalPress</strong> is a WordPress plugin that enabled cross-posting to sites running LiveJournal Server, which in 2024 is basically <a href="https://www.dreamwidth.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">Dreamwidth</a> (and, ironically, not LiveJournal itself). It is based on the LJXP plugin, however it has a raft of new features including:</p>
<ul>
<li>support for multiple different mirror journals</li>
<li>support for scheduled posts</li>
<li>support for posts created from interfaces (i.e. XML-RPC, Atom)</li>
<li>mood, music and location support</li>
<li>per-post-per-journal userpic selection.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Version 1.2</h4>
<ul>
<li>Minor bugfixes.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Version 1.1</h4>
<ul>
<li>Updated instructions for using API keys.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Version 1.0</h4>
<ul>
<li>Significant code rewrite, so make sure to check your <strong>settings</strong> and <strong>journals</strong> as some config items may not have migrated exactly as expected!</li>
<li>Support for LJ-style cut plugins on the WordPress end removed. WordPress-native <code></code> still supported.</li>
<li>Support for customer user groups for posting locking removed, since the plugin it relied on is super broken.</li>
<li>Bulk crossposting options removed.</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>JournalPress</strong> is based off the original <a href="http://ebroder.net/livejournal-crossposter/" rel="nofollow ugc">LJXP</a> client by Evan Broder, with the <a href="http://www.alltrees.org/Wordpress/#LCP" rel="nofollow ugc">LJ Crossposter Plus</a> modifications made by Ravenwood and Irwin. No disrespect is intended towards any of these 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).</p>
<p>Big shout-out to everyone who’s kept using this terrible old code all this time. You guys rock!</p>

<p><strong>Avalicious!</strong> is a WordPress plugin that integrates LiveJournal, Dreamwidth, and Tumblr user avatars in WordPress comments. It is a functional re-write of <a href="http://alltrees.org/Wordpress/#ALA" title="Alltrees' Also LJ Avatar" rel="nofollow ugc">Also LJ Avatar</a> (itself a re-write of some even older plugins), with the following differences:</p>
<ul>
<li>user avatars are downloaded via the cURL library, hopefully avoiding issues with hosts that disable remote URL includes</li>
<li>the regexps for extracting avatars have been improved</li>
<li>the user’s journal URL is extracted from a comment’s URL (not the name)</li>
<li>the user’s name is not re-written.</li>
</ul>
