@Brent & @Adam:
Sorry for the delayed reply, just finished moving, finally got my Internet set-up, and then found out my WP installation had been hacked… Anyhow, back in action!
@Brent:
You would likely have to hack the plug-in, which is problematic if/when the plug-in updates, because it will overwrite any changes you make. Though, take a closer look into the plug-in options, I regularly use NextGen Gallery, which also loads its JS into the <head> by default, but it has a global variable that I can set to tell it NOT to install things like jQuery.
That said, the only JS that NEEDS to be in the <head> is Modernizr, because it affects CSS, and you don’t want your page jumping around after it has already loaded…
@Adam:
A good point, I hadn’t realized it was doing that… I’ll look into this for the next release. And I’d say it’s about time to start scraping through the latest HTML5BP docs…
Thx!
