Consider using wp_enqueue_script

Hi Rob,

please consider to replace the manual inclusion of relevant javascript (and stylesheet) resources provided by Google through the use of the WordPress wp_enquque_script method. Furthermore, please consider externalizing eventual javascript snippets in a separate js-file in your plugins directory and include it in a similar way.

For example, it resolves dependencies, duplicate inclusion of the same script is prevented automatically, and optimizations, such as minification, are automatically applied to them.

In particular, I am using a filter in my theme to remove type="text/javascript" tags from all enqueued javascripts as the type tag is deprecated, which cannot handle your included javascript tags.

Thanks in advance,

Matthieu
