comment Metadata for a taxonomy - is there any WordPress way of doing this?
actually it's been a while since I looked at the way wordpress does that - I don't think it used javascript like that last time I looked at it, thanks for pointing that out to me. As I said above I found I was able to get what I wanted using the advanced custom fields plugin

Actually I found a solution to my problem using the advanced custom fields plugin but I will accept this as it seems a pretty good link.

"you cant just keep adding custom meta like that"-- yes you can ... I'm fuzzy on this ... I thought that you programmed each piece of postmeta individually, so that if you set it so there were 3 slots for directors on the movie, then it would be limited to that, unless you reprogram it. As opposed to a taxonomy where the user can keep entering ( for instance tags, as many as they like ) Am I wrong about this?

Thanks - no I'd be using a Custom Post Type alright. I only gave the example of taxonomy for somewhere to start. I would go with any solution, eg post meta etc but I cant imagine it working with post meta either ( because there could be more than one director per film and you cant just keep adding custom meta like that ). Really what I'm trying to establish is whether there is ANY way of storing that type of data in WordPress

comment Is there any plan for WordPress to handle retina support for the site content?
Thanks ... didn't realise I was being cutting edge ... doing a message there is not really possible for me at this time though ... maybe some other, or maybe someone else wants to take it up, thanks

comment Is there any plan for WordPress to handle retina support for the site content?
I wouldn't feel qualified to discuss it though; I was just looking for a yes or no as to whether a plan exists that I haven't found ... or pointer to a discussion maybe, but I take it from your answer that nothing is solid as of yet ... I will have a look on that website and see if anything exists, thanks.

comment Why enqueue styles on hook
Well maybe mandatory is the wrong word ... but it's not really optional is it? You seem to be implying the codex is correct, which is confusing me, because surely it shouldn't be implying that you can leave out the hook ... I mean if as you say you get a debug error.

... so it's not mandatory? I'm confused I thought you meant it was mandatory ... do you not think the codex implies it's optional?

comment Why enqueue styles on hook
Am I right in saying then that the codex page is misleading because it gives the impression that hooking is optional, but from what you say it seems like it's not.

comment Filter everything from content except output of a shortcode
Seemed to work fine. I ended up discovering I was going about my task the complete wrong way so I haven't tested it extensively myself either

I will try that but I'm a bit confused about how I determine which post formats the filter operates. I also don't understand why you have <hr>post format: in there

comment Is it possible to enqueue the Youtube API script or does it have to be inline?
Do you mean when I had it in the footer or the header? In the footer it literally produced no output whatsoever that I could detect ( though actually I'm no expert with firebug ) ... in the header I couldn't make head or tail of it at all because it put the iframe in a kind of odd place ( not replacing the div like it should but in a sibling element one level up ) ... anyway what I meant to say was that after 2 hours I was more or less giving up on getting this code enqueued and am going to leave it inline as it works fine, unless someone else wants to have a go. Thanks though.

tried putting it straight into header.php and things went pretty strange, couldn't figure it out

Yes, sorry I know I will have to do that eventually. When I tested moving the script so that it was enqueued I had hardcoded these - will add that to my question.

Main script was already in the footer. Why would I need to check the use of wp_localize_script?
