 * I can make this work, but I believe I’m doing it the wrong way. I’d like to know
   the right way. You can tell I’m a beginner from my walk-through below, but this
   is how I work:
 * What I’ve done is:
 * Created the theme in Theme Roller and downloaded it.
 * Opened the zip folder and found the css, js and html files.
 * Put the theme folder from inside the downloaded css folder (“dark hive,” in this
   case) into my WordPress theme’s css folder.
 * Put the three files from the downloaded js folder into my WP theme’s js folder.
 * Taken the coding below the body tag from the downloaded index.html file and put
   it into my WP home page.
 * Taken the coding inside the head tags of the downloaded html page and put that
   in the WP header file.
 * That header coding had three jQuery-related links. Even though the relative paths
   were correct, those weren’t working. I changed those to full paths for my site
   to look something like this:
 *     ```
       <link href="http://mywebsite.com/wp-content/themes/themename/js/jquery-collapse.jscss/dark-hive/jquery-ui-1.10.2.custom.css" rel="stylesheet">
       <script src="href="http://mywebsite.com/wp-content/themes/themename/js/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script>
       <script src="href="http://mywebsite.com/wp-content/themes/themename/js/jquery-ui-1.10.2.custom.js"></script>
       ```
   
 * And that worked. The Theme Roller elements worked on my home page.
 * However, it’s my understanding that I shouldn’t be adding a new jQuery page (
   not sure what the correct term is there) when WP already has jQuery installed.
 * Could someone tell me what hopefully brief (for your sake) steps I would take
   to switch this setup to run on WP’s jQuery and what files I should add or delete?
   If I need to add or delete code, please say where.
 * I see jQuery WordPress questions sprinkled a lot of different places on the web,
   and I’ve followed many instructions in trying to not add my own jQuery page, 
   but when I delete the link to that page (middle link above) in my header, my 
   jQuery elements always quit working. I think I need to be walked through all 
   of this to accomplish it. Hopefully, this discussion will help someone else, 
   too.
 * Thank you.
