Hi,
I've just posted over here regarding another issue, but in the process of looking into that matter, I noticed that AIOSP probably isn't running optimal. The Meta details are not at the top of my web pages, and this I believe will be effecting my search engine rankings. See here:
<head profile="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">

</head>
Now.. ignoring how messy that HEAD content is... I believe the AIOSP details should be entered at or around this position (as close to the top as possible, and right next to the page title):

How do I go about altering this? Even if it means editing core WP or plugin files?
Thanks
