Hi, after testing many sliders, I must say that yours is one of the best – congratulations and thank you very much for your efforts!

However, there is still room for optimization: you are loading the Javascript needed for Meteor Slides on each and every page request, even if there is only ONE slider on a side with 2000 pages, on each and every page the JS files are loaded – certainly this already is on your todo list, maybe you can get some inspiration here:

http://contactform7.com/loading-javascript-and-stylesheet-only-when-it-is-necessary/

ATM I do not know what would be the best method of implementing such a behaviour as default for a plugin, looks like an henn-egg problem, but I did not dig deeper (for now).

Would be interesting to see a good generic solutio for this!

Thanks!

Even better for new wp versions:
```
add_shortcode('myshortcode', 'my_shortcode_handler');

function my_shortcode_handler($atts) {
	wp_enqueue_script('my-script', plugins_url('my-script.js', __FILE__), array('jquery'), '1.0', true);

	// actual shortcode handling here
}
```
