How do I tell me .HTML file to link the jquery .js file I downloaded?
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<a href="#">Test</a>
</body>
</html>

$(function(){
$(".someClass").tipTip();
});
Inside of the <head> is the defacto standard for <script src="file.js"></script> to go. It will be parsed first as a result, though. If you feel that there's too much overhead from scripts you can dump them before the end body tag so the HTML is parsed beforehand. The latter is not necessary usually, unless there's lots of code.
The standard template I use for including files in HTML is shown here:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title></title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script src="scripts.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
The main thing to take away is:
