Title: move meta charset to top of head

should be at the top of the head.

Per the HTML4 spec: "META declarations should appear as early as possible in the HEAD element." (http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/charset.html#h-5.2.2)

Per the HTML5 spec: "The element containing the character encoding declaration must be serialized completely within the first 512 bytes of the document." Which basically means put it as early as possible.
