 * You can place script files in a “scripts” directory within your theme’s directory
   and then source them with:
 * `<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo("template_url"); ?>/scripts/
   filename.js"></script>`
 * alternatively, you can use the the wp_enqueue_script function in your functions.
   php file.
 * `<?php wp_enqueue_script( 'handle', 'src', 'deps', 'ver'); ?>`
 * for information on this function see:
