Adding JavaScript into Blogger or WordPress?

I need to learn how to incorporate custom JavaScript into WordPress and into my Portfolio page on this Blogger site without including all the lines of code.  I ran across two articles that give me a clue. Tuts+: Include Javascript in Your Wordpress Themes and Tuts+: Javascript Usage with WordPress
Basically, two questions:

1. How to properly link to an external .js file (URL)?
2. If .js scripts are local, where do these go so they can be referenced?

No Luck Importing Movie File :(

I tried adding a .swf movie file to the Portfolio page but Blogger doesn't support it.  For now, as a work-around, I added an image that's linked to another site page.   .MOV conversion ended up as huge file, so I didn't upload.  My next move is to try a .swf=>.flv  or .fla=>.flv converter.  Shucks.

How to Create Memberships for Classmates?

Blogger offers several ways to control comment access. Being that it is a google tool, a main criteria is that commenters must have a gmail account or open the site to everyone.  I'll expect the class to have google accounts I guess.

Set Up Blogger Dynamic Mobile Template

Experimented with the Blogger tool and set up the dynamic view mobile template. Also set up the utility to be able to post from my mobile devices via email for the heck of it.

Blogger Search Tool Replaced by Custom Search Widget!

I discovered that the Blogger.com search widget doesn't work and is a known unresolved Google bug. I implemented a workaround by creating a custom search widget that included some HTML code that I found. I now have a working 'Search Intern Blog' widget.  I used the following code snippet:

<form action="search" name="input" method="get">
<input value="" name="q" size="18" type="text"/>

<input value="Search" type="submit"/>
</form>

Blogger.com Customization Using Labels

Figure out how to create separate pages that contain specific posts.  I created pages that are actually links to label groups.  Now all posts are on the main page, and label groups are shown on their own page.  Also figured out how to show some widgets on the home page but not appear on the other pages. I'm starting to feel like I'm kind of a big deal, ha.

Blogger.com Internship Site Customized

Created this Blogger.com site, customized, and used the google help pages. Added a resource link. I still need to figure out how to add a new post to a specific page and have it appear on the home page. Right now I have to add a post to the home page, and use tags, but the posts aren't related to the specific pages. Hmmm.
