This might be a really dumb question, but is it dumb to load the data that is in between the tags in a file and load it via PHP include()? That way it would allow for easier editing. Thanks.

The question is : do you plan to use the same <head> block on several pages ?
If yes, then : no, it is not a bad idea to store it in a file, that can be used for several pages.
A second question would be : does this make things easier for you ?
If yes, then : no, it is not a bad idea to make things easier.
And if you are thinking "this will mean loading/including one more file, will this not kill my server ?"
Then, again : no, it will not : no-one will notice that kind of overhead :-)
(And the file, if used often, will most likely be cached in RAM by your OS anyway)

No, why should it be dumb? If it adds structure to your website, and allows for clean design, it would be a good idea.
And it applies DRY.

It follows the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) methodology. It's a good idea.
