Prob­a­bly my corni­est title to date.

Word­Press plu­g­ins have a bad habit of sneak­ing their way into your head tag, pol­lut­ing it with moronic markup, super­flu­ous spaces, and crazy calls. If you’re any­thing like me, then you care about the order of the ele­ments in your pages, and you also want to keep close tabs on the calls your page is mak­ing to exter­nal files — par­tic­u­larly CSS and JavaScript files.

It looks like I’m going to have to do some plu­gin devel­op­ment in order to keep redun­dant HTTP requests to a min­i­mum (can’t you plu­gin devel­op­ers just check for the exis­tence of the jQuery object and load it dynam­i­cally if it doesn’t exist?) and to keep my head tag look­ing dapper.
