    maybe this should be in the template section but i…

    Anyway…. In the default template that came with WP i noticed some heading tags that i do not have in my template that i created.

    My heading tags are the usual that go in to a html doc.

    the tags in question are:
    <head profile=”http://gmpg.org/xfn/1″&gt;

    altenate style sheets:
    print, rss, etc.

    and the tag that refers to a ping:
    <link rel=”pingback” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘pingback_url’); ?>” />
    <?php wp_get_archives(‘type=monthly&format=link’); ?>
    <?php //comments_popup_script(); // off by default ?>
    <?php wp_head(); ?>

    do i need any of the tags i refereed to above?
    BTW i already have the Blog up and running as of today so everything seems fine.

    Just want to be sure I’m not leaving anything out.

    The stylesheet for print refers to the css file used for designating layout when a page on your site is printed out (from a browser). Good to keep it.

    The ‘alternate’ tags (for rss) aid syndication or feed client software to locate specific feeds. Again, good to keep, unless you choose not to support one or more feed types. That’s up to you.

    Pingback link is there for other blogs (that is, the software for them) leaving a pingback comment on your site. Unless you don’t allow your blog to be pinged, keep it.

    It’s useful to some to provide link relationships to the archive pages, but I personally don’t implement the wp_get_archives() tag in the head of my page.

    If you don’t use a popup comments window, comments_popup_script() is superfluous.

    And wp_head() — other than a handoff to other functions, not sure what that was ever intended to do.

    It is a hook for plugins if they need to do anything at that place.
