    I am building my first theme and right now I am doing my homework on what to do. I would like to add a slider to the home page that I have already coded with jQuery. What are some ways I can implement this in my theme. I thought about adding it to the header but I would imagine that it would be in the header section within every page. Any advise or tutorials would be great.

    Where are you trying to display it? If you are wanting to only in the front page you can use conditionals ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) to only do it on the home/index page.

    yes I am just trying to display it on the index page. I was told to build the entire page as a regular site and then transfer everything over to a theme but I am stuck on the slider and some other areas. First theme is going to be interesting to say the least.

    Just wrap what you want to run inside those conditionals. So it would look something like:

    if ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) {
  // Code to run
  wp_enqueue_script ( 'my-slider' );
  echo '<div class="mySlider"></div>';
}
