 * Hello my theme (not official WP theme) is using this [jQuery](http://mysite.com/wp-content/themes/celebritypress5/js/jquery.min.js).
 * This jQuery is called from the header with this code:
 * > <script src=”[http://mysite.com/wp-content/themes/themename/js/jquery.min.js”></script&gt](http://mysite.com/wp-content/themes/themename/js/jquery.min.js”></script&gt);
 * This file is jQuery 1.4.2 and I would like to use 1.8.3.
 * How should I proceed to update jQuery?
 * Would a simple file replacement work fine (replace jquery.min.js with a newly
   downloaded jQuery .js) or do I need to use the wp_enqueue_script?
 * Thanks for helping
