Gravatars2 WordPress Plugin

Kip from zenpax.com has released a beta version of a WordPress plugin that improves upon Skippy’s original plugin. Here’s the word from his site:

Gravatars2 is a WordPress plugin, modified from Skippy’s Gravatars with the following enhancements:

• Caches “No Images” and Errors (in addtion to images, of course)

• Separate cache times for all 3 cache types
• Greatly speeds up page loads which are slowed down by having to check the gravatar.com server (and removes a LOT of load from the gravatar.com server)

Cron supported

• Unix-type “system cron” job can be used to have all cache refreshes performed by the server, without user interference
• Skippy’s “WP-Cron” can be used if a true system cron is not available (Gravatars2-WPCron updated for clean integration)

“Local” and “Global” gravatars are cached in separate directories

Cache management (refresh/delete) split out to “Management” tab

Various other things which may or may not be noticeable to you, but are good
