 * Hi there
 * I want to add my own scripts and external CSS stylesheets to header.php, but 
   using relative paths to these sources comes up empty. I can’t even embed an image.
 * I added my javascripts to a “script” folder withing the theme directory, adn 
   use a path like this:
 * `<script language="javascript" src="scripts/myScript.js"></script>`
 * any idea why these paths won’t work?
 * thanks

 * Did you try option 2 yet?
 * `<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/scripts/
   myScript.js"></script>`

 * Same thing might apply to your style sheet.
