I suppose that the inclusion of jQuery in each and every web page is in my aim of providing jQuery-using plugins inside the browser, rather than a single website.
The Wordpress plugin is borne out of intense frustration with the powers that be behind it. In their short-sightedness, they're forcing Prototype upon people, and I don't agree with it. So I'm going to do everything I can to put jQuery into Wordpress as easily as possible. Rey Bango-2 wrote: > > This sounds very cool Dan.
