Lately I’ve been doing a lot of developing for the WordPress platform at my new work. Before I’ve done very little with WordPress, but I have to say I’m impressed with the latest version.

There are several nice features I’ve been introduced to like menu’s and feature images.

But one of the best functions I found is wp_enqueue_script and wp_enqueue_style. The best thing about these functions are that they have the ability to solve dependencies. Simply tell the system you need jquery and voila, it will be included.

Sadly I also noticed that some theme’s and plugins are not using this system yet, causing some scripts to be included twice. So all theme and plugin author’s please use these functions to include styles and scripts!
