 * I am converting an HTML page to a WordPress theme for a customer, and everything
   was going fine until I got to the JavaScript part.
 * I can get the css files to work just fine by using
 *     ```
          wp_register_style('header', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/header.css', array(), 1, 'all');
           wp_enqueue_style('header');
       ```
   
 * I have tried to add the JS files, but for some reason they are not registered
   when I test the page. What have I missed?
 *     ```
       function shapeSpace_include_custom_jquery() {
   
       	wp_deregister_script('jquery');
       	wp_enqueue_script('jquery', 'https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js', array(), null, true);
   
       }
       add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'shapeSpace_include_custom_jquery');
   
       function load_javascript() {
   
           wp_register_script('script2', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/script2.js', array(), 1, 1, 1);
           wp_enqueue_script('script2');
           wp_register_script('script3', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/script3.js', array(), 1, 1, 1);
           wp_enqueue_script('script3');
           wp_register_script('navigation', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/navigation_script.js', array(), 1, 1, 1);
           wp_enqueue_script('navigation');
           wp_register_script('scroll', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/scroll.js', array(), 1, 1, 1);
           wp_enqueue_script('scroll');
   
       }
       ```

 * It looks like you’re not calling the load_javascript() function anywhere, only
   the shapeSpace_include_custom_jquery() function. You will need to call both if
   you want both to work.
