 * Hello all.
    i put this in the footer (had also tried the head)
 * `<script src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/myJs.js"></script>`
   
   just to start testing out and practicing javascript but i get this error message
   in the console (using chrome)
 * [http://localhost/site_a/wp-content/themes/twentyfourteen/myJs.js](http://localhost/site_a/wp-content/themes/twentyfourteen/myJs.js)
