Hey,
If anyone out there is still using WP 2.7 and willing to try the development version of "Use Google Libraries" out for me I'd appreciate it.
I added support for the footer loading in 2.8, but it should detect if it's available so I expect it will work fine on 2.7, but it will be a few days until I have a chance to verify that for myself.
Just backup your 'use-google-libraries.php' file, and replace it with this one:
http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/export/124735/use-google-libraries/trunk/use-google-libraries.php
Be sure to clear any caching plugins you're using and let me know if things look good.
Thanks in advance,
Jay
