 * Building a website and adding jquery is easy because you apply the Scripts to
   the index.html or what ever.html file you want them in, and they usually come
   with a seprate CSS style sheet depending on the lengh of the the css needed.
 * Now assuming I wanted to add Jquery to my blog would I put the Jquery script 
   tags in the index.php?

 * The other question I wanted to ask, which should be fairly simple is how to change
   the dat to grom from say 25-26-37 to 27-26-25…

 * Adrien,
 * What we typically do is add an additional js folder within the theme, then place
   the jQuery files / Plugins within and finally add the scripts in the header as
   you would normally do by way of absolute links to the js folder. The CSS can 
   be added directly to the styles.css file.

 * Ok what about like if the Jqeury Script was to be applied to a specific link (
   such as a roll over -> [Tool Tip](http://cssglobe.com/post/1695/easiest-tooltip-and-image-preview-using-jquery))
   Such tools are applied to specific links and I am confused as to how to do this,
   Now what i am sensing is that I add the JQuery file(s) to the folder, place the
   css with in the style.css and then when writing a blog, call on it via using 
   the rel=”” and any other tags required in the link tags? because if so then thats
   easy.

 * Also would the basis of the Header.php file look like this: (with Jquery files
   included?) -> [see me](http://pastebin.com/m53e3a887)
 * also would the CSS go any where in the style.css? (as I would assume it dosent
   matter where you put the Jquery CSS….but you never know)
 * because if all the above is correct my Jquery is not being called properly. in
   a post i place the call functions to call the jquery when making a new blog post
   but its not comunicated properly

 * Adrien,
 * After reading the jQuery plugin page I think you have it. The jQuery css can 
   go anywhere in the style.css file unless it is specifically linked to from within
   the plugin itself.
 * Your header scripts should look like this:
 * `<script src="http://www.mysite.com/wp-content/themes/default/Jquery/jquery.js"
   type="text/javascript"></script>`
 * Where you have the absolute path to the actual jQuery file. Give this a try and
   if it doesn’t work post the code you are using within the post itself.
