I’m learning theme development for wordpress and I’m noticing lots of different variations for the header and meta code in header.php.
I was wondering is there a best practice? ie some are using php for charset, some not. Some are using extra code for viewpoint, some are using pingback etc etc
Such is the world of WordPress.
I advise you to be very critical when studying others’ code.
A lot of it “works” but a lot of it is far from being best practice.
IMHO you would do best relying on the Codex to learn
