HI Jason You can stick it in the <head> of the document although that will load it prior to the rest of the document being loaded which may cause the page to display a bit later than usual. The way around that issue is to use an event listener on "load", it could even be delayed by a few seconds using a settimeout but not too much that the visitor will leave before it fires.
Ggl only suggest sticking it at the end of the <body> to avoid interference with page load issues, it's sort of a poor mans load handler. I'm pretty sure having script in the <head> is ok for all html and xhtml doctypes (strict transitional etc) so you can have your standards cake and eat it too.
