 One of the problem than I encounter when working w/ Wordpress and changing
 themes, is that I often miss to add the header/footer HTML snippets, which
 are in general either some sort of site-wide widgets like snap.com, or
 some web counter/tracker, or some meta tags like the Google/Yahoo
 webmasters verification meta tag. I miss them, because I have added them
 to the old version of the themes, and I forget to add them to the new
 ones.

 To deal with this, I have created a simple plugin (see attached). I
 utilizes the wp_header/wp_footer template tags to insert the HTML
 snippets. The great thing about it, is that the snippets are going to be
 inserted no matter which theme you are using. I know that there are
 several plugins similar to that, like the plugin that inserts the Google
 Analytics code, but I haven't stumbled upon a more uniform solution.

 Anyway, I see great potential for this as a core WordPress feature,
 because almost all of the blogs have some sort of HTML snippets inserted.
 Please take a look at the attached plugin as a proof of concept and tell
 me what you think.
