I having so much trouble getting multiple jQuery plugins to work on the same page.

 

I understand that $ is conflicting with jQuery. 

 

I'm using a theme from ThemeForest that uses jQuery 1.4.1.

I'd like to add an image gallery - I've tried several.  One gallery uses jQuery 1.4.1 too - but still can't get them all working together.

 

-I'm confused about which method I'm supposed to use. 

-Is there a particular order the jQuery versions should be called in?

 

I'm supposed to call each version right?

Am I supposed to use the noConflict tag with each plug in ... or just the older ones.

 

I've seached high and low and can't find a tutorial that walks me through the whole process.

 

I'm so confused.  :)

 

Can anyone point me to a good tutorial? 

 

Thanks.

 

P.S.  I'll be happy to post the code I'm having trouble with if someone is willing to help me out.  :)
