July 28, 2010
Recently I stumbled across an article detailing browser performance with the CSS print media type. In most recent browsers the print stylesheet held up rendering.
The article suggested a solution, which I decided to automate for WordPress.

June 4, 2010
In Part 1 we introduced the wp_register_script and wp_enqueue_script functions developed to avoid JavaScript conflicts.
