 * This line here, <script type=”text/javascript” id=”slb_context”>, in my site’s
   footer gives me a validation warning. Please consider removing the type attribute.
   Thank you.

 * Hi, the `type` attribute is optional for `<script>` elements in HTML5 documents,
   but is included for compatibility with other document types that require it.
 * This matches WordPress’ own functionality for `<script>` elements added to the
   page.
