 * Hi,
 * Great plugin — simple & useful!
 * Noticed a major issue though: page created using the ‘Blank Slate’ template doesn’t
   include some of the important HEAD tags (between META charset tag and first SCRIPT
   tag), namely:
 *     ```
       <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
       <link rel="profile" href="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">
       <link rel="pingback" href="http://www.some-website.com/xmlrpc.php">
       <!--[if lt IE 9]>
       <script src="http://www.some-website.com/wp-content/themes/some-theme/js/html5.js"></script>
       <![endif]-->
       ```
   
 * The missing META viewport tag causes the page to become non-responsive, so it
   doesn’t scale & display properly on mobile & tablet devices.
 * We’ll appreciate a fix.
 * Cheers 🙂
 * Nick

 * I have a fix. Would prefer to test it a little before I make it an official update.
 * Can you email me? I’ll shoot the updated plugin to you?
 * Message me on Twitter (@areimann) so I can get your email address.

 * Looks good!
 * However, compared to the native WP template, the plugin template still doesn’t
   include two things:
 * 1. Pingback link header:
 * `<link rel="pingback" href="http://www.some-website.com/xmlrpc.php">`
 * 2. HTML5 shim for IE8 & below (not important though):
 *     ```
       <!--[if lt IE 9]>
       <script src="http://www.some-website.com/wp-content/themes/some-theme/js/html5.js"></script>
       <![endif]-->
       ```
   
 * Isn’t there a way to automatically/dynamically base the plugin template on the
   master theme template?

 * There isn’t, per se, a way to have a master theme. The closest you get to a master
   theme would be a theme like twentyseventeen, but you can never assume that the
   theme even exists on the site.
 * Also, twentyseventeen doesn’t have the pingback nor the shiv.js/css: [https://themes.svn.wordpress.org/twentyseventeen/1.3/header.php](https://themes.svn.wordpress.org/twentyseventeen/1.3/header.php)
   so I’d like to keep it as close to twentyseventeen as possible.
