 * I’m currently learning theme development, and tweaking the twentytwelve theme.
   I’ve got an external javascript file I’m trying to link, but it won’t seem to
   register. The codex tells me:
 * `<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/pathto/
   yourscript.js"></script>`
 * which I’ve changed the filename, to suit my purpose:
 * `<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>//trans.
   js"></script>`
 * However, this is still not working. Am I missing something?
