How do I actually use history.js on my site

  History.js gracefully supports the HTML5 History/State APIs (pushState, replaceState, onPopState) in all browsers. Including continued support for data, titles, replaceState. Supports jQuery, MooTools and Prototype. For HTML5 browsers this means that you can modify the URL directly, without needing to use hashes anymore. For HTML4 browsers it will revert back to using the old onhashchange functionality.

  

I've read all the posts about history.js on stackoverflow including, this, this and this and at looked the source code but as a newcomer to javascript/jquery I'm having trouble figuring out how to actually implement to have html 5 history support and fallback to support html4 browsers such as ie8/9. As I can appreciate the UX benefits from presenting consistent URL's as much as possible, how this solves deep linking and allows for bookmarking I want to implement but I get a bit lost when trying to actually use this on my site.
