 * I am little bit confused in regards to adding javascript or jquery to my template.
   So i am hoping someone can clarify a few things for me.
    I have the nest theme
   on wp 3.1.3 and i would like to to add some javascript. To use javascript do 
   you first need to add this code wp_enqueue_script code in php functions? Or do
   you need to set WP_ DEBUG to true if yes, how do you do that? I have done some
   research but i get conflicting views. Lastly, can someone tell me the difference
   between javascript and jquery and which would be the most appropiate to use on
   wordpress? Thanks
