 * Hi MillanN,
 * as i known we need to use wp_head(); on top to load css and scripts from wordpress.
   But i never use wp_head function because it loads all the scripts in all pages
   and not in the pages we need it.
 * For example, for frontpage, home, and other static pages i dont use GD Star Rating.
   For that I placed the scripts manually in <head></head> depending the page.
 * Using Firebug PageSpeed(Network) I see GdStar Rating takes over 6-8seconds on
   render a simple starts,.. if we have about 10 stars rating, the page will take
   easily about 20 seconds to finish the render. This bad for SEO!
 * THE QUESTION
    ¿¿What files are needed to correct use GDStarRating in specific
   pages???
 *     ```
       <head>
       ...
       <!-- css-->
       <link rel='stylesheet' id='gdsr_style_main-css'  href='http://localhost/xxx.me/wp-content/plugins/gd-star-rating/css/gdsr.css.php?t=1385967294xxxxxxxxxx;ver=1.9.22' type='text/css' media='all' />
       <link rel='stylesheet' id='gdsr_style_xtra-css'  href='http://localhost/xxx.me/wp-content/gd-star-rating/css/rating.css?ver=1.9.22' type='text/css' media='all' />
       <!-- scrips -->
       <script type='text/javascript' src='http://localhost/xxx.me/wp-content/plugins/gd-star-rating/js/gdsr.js?ver=1.9.22'></script>
       ...
       </head>
       ```
   
 * ¿ is there any problem using this method??
    ¿can I place gdsr.js in bottom before
   </body>???
 * Thanks in advance.
