move external JavaScript to wordpress footer
I want to be able to selectively move external JavaScripts to the footer of my site via functions.php file. I have not found a snippet of code that accomplishes that. I have minified my JavaScript and CSS but the plugins I use do not address external scripts. In my particular case, LinkedIn's .js takes a long time to load and it is blocking. It seems moving it to the footer would benefit especially since nobody is going to be using the social share until after the page has loaded and they read the content.
Any help in developing a code snippet to address this would be extremely helpful...or pointing me to a source of a function already developed.

Welcome to SuperUser. This is a question better off on StackExchange StackOverflow. Don't expect anyone to write you code however. You'll need to at least have attempted it before people will help.
