Ever wondered how to add css / Javascript into a custom publishing page layout. I did!!!! Just add the PlaceHolderAdditionalPageHead content placeholder tag and voila!!!!
<asp:Content ContentPlaceholderID="PlaceHolderAdditionalPageHead" runat="server">
<style type="text/css">
//some css
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
//some js
</script>
</asp:Content>

Invalid Associated Content Type
Recently I have been working on a project creating custom publishing page content types and layouts in Visual Studio. All seemed fine, the deployment went as expected and off I went to create my new page based on the custom content type / page layout I had created. After selecting the content type from the menu I was redirected to the create page when i noticed that the page layout option was preceded with the words "(invalid Associated Content Type)". Having never seen this before I was at a lost. I did a quick retract and deploy to see if something had gone wrong during the deploy to no avail. Being a bit lost at this point i fired up chrome and copied the error message into google. A quick scan of a few websites revealed my problem. It seems you need to reference the content type in the content type like so:-
<FieldRef ID="{c042a256-787d-4a6f-8a8a-cf6ab767f12d}" Name="ContentType" />
A quick redeploy and test verified that this did indeed solve my problem. Don't ask me why!!!!!!
