   Hello. I'm at my wits end with this - maybe someone can help. I would like to use jQuery on my blog, but I cannot seem to get to enqueue using wp_enqueue_script(). This code is in a custom activated plugin:

   add_action('wp_head', 'mfDevLoadScripts');
   function mfDevLoadScripts() {
   	wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
   }

   Nothing happens! But... If I try:

   'add_action('wp_head', 'mfDevLoadScripts');
   function mfDevLoadScripts() {
   print 'flying monkeys';
   }`

   I get "flying monkeys" printed across the top of my screen. Please help if you can!
   Thanks!

   OK.... Answered my own question here. This is how you do it do it:

   add_action('init', 'mfDevLoadScripts');
   function mfDevLoadScripts() {
   	wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
   }

   For others who may read the thread, and need (like me) to use the wp_head hook rather than init, you can also use
   add_action('wp_head', 'mfDevLoadScripts', 0);
   to ensure the function loads early enough.
