 * I am trying to run a custom script. It is showing up in Firebug, but it won’t
   work on the page. I currently only want it to show up on the front page, which
   is front-page.php.
 * I have the following code in my functions.php file
 *     ```
       //Call jQuery
       wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' );
   
       //Load my script for images
       if ( !is_admin() ) { // instruction to only load if it is not the admin area
          // register your script location, dependencies and version
          wp_register_script('my_script',
              get_bloginfo('template_directory') . '/js/myscript.js',
              '1.0' );
          // enqueue the script
          wp_enqueue_script('my_script');
       }
       ```
