I want to add scripts like jQuery, scriptaculous etc.
In order not to double register a script, I would like to use wp_register_script and wp_enqueue_script.
But how do I use these?
From what I can read, I have to put them inside functions.
But I'm not making any plugins or such.
I would like to add them in the header, below wp_head().
But when I add it there, I don't see any change in the source code.
At least I should point you to so you can understand what will happen with http://codex.wordpress.org/Version_2.8:
Lester Chan's Loading Javascript in Footer blog and Andrew Ozz's Script Loader Updates blog
Hmm... ok, thanks :)
spstieng, to do that in the way you want, which, I think, is the right way, you have to:
1. Add the function to your functions.php file OR
2. Make a plugin just for that: to enqueue the script
For the scripts you mention, I think that enqueuing is enough, that is:
wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
For the difference between registering and enqueuing, see this recent thread in wp-hackers:

(Scroll down to the 5th or 6th message, where the subject changes to exactly this difference.)
Thanks Demetris!
I've been thinking down the same path as you :)
